Notes From Toronto Blue Jays Extended Spring Training
It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to dig up any dirt from Blue Jays extended spring training. Seems my source has met himself a nice young lady down there in Dunedin which leaves precious little time to speak to ol’ Charlie. Plus, and this was covered during the mechanics piece, extended is an absolute grind, and […]
Blue Jays Minor League Chat on the Team 1040 and the ChazMan
I caught up with all ’round good guy Matt Baker on the Team 1040 this past Friday following a particularly disappointing Blue Jays loss (aren’t they all?) versus the Angels. Given the tough start on the night from Dustin McGowan, compounded by a terrible one against Cleveland last night, the injured (perennially so, it seems) […]
Notes From Blue Jays Extended Spring Training: Vancouver Prospecting
While writing this Extended Spring Training series I got to thinking about how many of the players currently in Florida will actually make their way north to Vancouver come the 10th (ish) of June.

Blue Jays Minor League Chat on the Team 1040
Recently I’ve been lucky enough to join baseball aficionado, former Vancouver Canadians online play by play man, and all ’round good guy Matt Baker on the Team 1040 to talk baseball. Specifically Blue Jays minor league baseball. We have managed to cover a wide range of topics during the two hits. Including Dustin McGowan‘s successful […]
Notes From Extended Spring Training: Part One
If you follow me on twitter (and if you don’t, you really should) you’ll have picked up on fact I have cultivated a ‘source’ down at the Blue Jays extended spring training camp. Getting insight into what goes on at extended has long been a goal of mine, especially in regards to the Vancouver Canadians, […]
An Extended Spring
With the Blue Jays full season minor league affiliates underway, we can eliminate sixty odd names from starting 2013 with the Vancouver Canadians. In reality, there were only three names that I was surprised to see make the trip north of Florida (or to Dunedin from Dunedin, but that’s just confusing). Of course, like Kellen […]
