YourVanCs Weekly – Ep 17 – The ‘Luncheon’
Last night, Greg and I shook off the podcast rust (and the Ballochian one troopered through a cold) and hit the studio to discuss the Vancouver Canadians Hot Stove Lucheon. Prior to the lunch I got the opportunity to interview Aaron Sanchez, Marcus Stroman, Drew Hutchison and Russell Martin. All those are below as well […]
The Blue Jays Top 30: Future Vancouver Canadians
Although, obviously, I’ve fallen short of my stated goal of finishing off my Toronto Blue Jays top 30 prospect list prior to this past Friday’s Vancouver Canadians hot stove luncheon, I’m still going to bust my hump to get the list done. The prospects are going to be broken into three manageable chunks of 10 players a […]
Lunch With the Blue Jays
The Vancouver Canadians hosted their annual hot stove luncheon Friday at the Hotel Vancouver. I spoke a bit last year on the excellent causes supported by the event so won’t go into that again. Instead, will focus on the Blue Jays’y stuff. Prior to the lunch I got the chance to have a quick chat with […]
Blue Jays Bring Big Guns to Vancouver
Despite an ugly forecast, there should be at least one patch of sunshine (if nothing else, Marcus Stroman‘s ever present smile will light up the room) in town tomorrow as the Toronto Blue Jays arrive for their annual Vancouver Canadians hot stove luncheon.

Is Alex Anthopoulos too Enamoured With Jays Farm System?
Amidst my efforts to finally publish my Blue Jays top 30 prospects (I promise, it’s coming soon) I came across this article from SI.com’s Tom Verducci. Now, I know there’s some anti-Verducci-ites out there who won’t read the piece, so below is, in a nutshell, what I found interesting. The article discusses the myriad of […]
YourVanCs Monthly (?) – Episode 16
Last night, Greg and I managed to shake off the podcast cobwebs, coming together for the first Your Van C’s Weekly of 2015. We were lucky to be joined by former pro scout and current MLB Pipeline contributor and Bernie’s Blogger Bernie Pleskoff. The topics covered are both numerous and varied so is probably just easier […]
Tiger Toritani to Decide Future Soon? Ever?
I recently mused how the eye of Blue Jays news we’re currently in will certainly turn back to a storm of activity given how close-ish we are to pitchers and catchers reporting. Well, in Japan, things are going to crank up a lot quicker as everybody (not just the P&C’s) are due to make their way […]
The 2015 Toronto Blue Jays Prospect List is Near
I know. I made some wild promises a few weeks ago. Claiming my Blue Jays top 30 prospect list would be out prior to Christmas. A gift, so to speak, for all the readers out there. Turns out all those promises were patently false. Between house guests, kids, and all the beer in Vancouver, absolutely […]
