With the sun (sorta) shining in Vancouver and pitchers and catchers reporting in Dunedin, I am going to have to try and treat my Olympic fever somewhat and start churning out some Blue Jays content. To be fair, I have been distracted with a side project, one that can finally be unveiled.
As per below, I have been collaborating on an e-book that will cover the Blue Jays system from Buffalo to the complex league in Florida, with profiles on each player in Toronto’s system and write ups on all seven teams on the ladder.
It was a labour of love, but one that did take up more time than anticipated. So, in order to get another post started, without further ado:
The 2014 Toronto Blue Jays Minor League Handbook, by Jay Blue with Charlie Caskey and Jared Macdonald, is the definitive guide to the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system.
Available on March 31, 2014 as an e-book on all major platforms (including Smashwords.com, Amazon, Apple iBooks and Kobo), the 2014 Handbook is a resource that enables fans to follow the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system like never before. Available for only $7.99, the book features unprecedented coverage of the Jays’ farm system for any fan.
Information about how to order will be coming soon!
The first of it’s kind, the 2014 Handbook examines the entire Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system in the most detail that it has ever been covered.
Included are:
There will also be an “All-Star Break” supplement coming in July for only $1.99 that will highlight:
The authors bring an unparalleled knowledge of the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system. Combined, they have covered all seven of the Blue Jays’ North American minor league teams as members of the media and have scouted and written about just about everyone in the system.
Jay Blue is the founder of Blue Jays from Away. In addition to writing and podcasting here, he is a staff writer at Jays Journal and co-editor of Grading on the Curve, the FanSided Network’s minor league blog. Honing his writing skills since grad school, Jay has written about the Blue Jays since 2012 and has seen much of the Blue Jays’ minor league system in person and has been a member of the credentialed media at five different minor league parks and attended games at six of the seven home ballparks in the Toronto Blue Jays minor league system. His work can also be found on the Canadian Baseball Network.
Charlie Caskey covers the Vancouver Canadians for the Vancouver Sun (online) as well as his own blog, Your Van Cs. He is also a staff writer for Jays Journal. Caskey offers unprecedented coverage of the only minor league team in Canada, attending many of the club’s home games in 2013 and gaining unparalleled insider knowledge about the club, coaches and players.
Jared Macdonald has an extensive resume as an outstanding writer and talent analyst from his years as editor of Jays Journal and writing for JaysProspects.com. Jared has visited all of the Blue Jays’ minor league teams and has probably the deepest knowledge of the Jays’ minor league system of anyone who isn’t employed by the club.
