As always, we'll start with the Jays' Triple-A affiliate. Before you ask why I omitted him, Brett Lawrie did not play.
The Las Vegas 51s:
Darin Mastroianni: 3-for-6, 3 strikeouts. .302/.327/.358
Mike McCoy: 3-for-3, 3 walks. Reaching base 6 times in 6 tries is quite a feat. .267/.450/.400
Eric Thames: 4-for-6, strikeout, double. .449/.517/.755
David Cooper: 2-for-5, strikeout, double. .367/.426/.592
Ryan Shealy: 1-for-3, 2 walks, strikeout. .258/.395/.355
Adam Loewen: 2-for-5, strikeout, home run. .231/.289/.333
Manny Mayorson: 2-for-4, walk, triple. .385/.448/.538
Chad Cordero got another start, again going 3 innings, walking one while striking out none, but he did manage to give up just one earned run on 2 hits.
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats:
Anthony Gose: 1-for-5, 2 strikeouts. .200/.234/.222
Adeiny Hechavarria: 0-for-5, .205/.222/.250
Michael McDade: 2-for-4, strikeout, double. .341/.370/.432
Travis d'Arnaud: 2-for-4, home run. .176/.243/.294
Moises Sierra: 2-for-4. .280/.333/.280
Zach Stewart: 6.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K. Much better, and 47% of the balls in play against him were groundballs.
The Dunedin Blue Jays:
Kevin Ahrens: 1-for-3, walk, strikeout, double. .147/.275/.206
A.J. Jimenez: 1-for-4, strikeout. .351/.385/.568
Kevin Nolan: 2-for-3, walk, strikeout, double. .364/.462/.545 (just 4 games played, 23 year old utility player)
Deck McGuire: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 43.8% groundballs. Less Ks this time, but more groundballs and that's good of course. He's pitching quite well for someone jumping into pro-ball at the High-A level.
The Lansing Lugnuts:
Carlos Perez: 2-for-5, strikeout, double. .400/.471/.600
Gustavo Pierre: 1-for-5, 2 strikeouts. .243/.282/.297 (also 2 errors in the field, giving him 7 in total now)
Jake Marisnick: 1-for-4, hit by pitch. .306/.375/.472
K.C. Hobson: 3-for-5. .222/.300/.250
Marcus Knecht: 2-for-5, strikeout, double. .324/.395/.471
Michael Crouse: 0-for-5. .267/.389/.567
Balbino Fuenmayor: 2-for-3, walk. .421/.500/.526
Daniel Webb: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 66.7% groundballs.

Great to see
Deck and Stewart doing well in their respective leagues. I guess they weren’t kidding when they said McGuire was polished and would rise through the system fast. I also see a trend of Anthopoulos’ picks doing pretty well so far.
I know its only the first month but still pretty exciting!
Gusavo Pierre
Should we be a little concerned about 7 errors in 9 games; or will he improve when the weather gets warmer?
It’s an awful lot of errors, but without actually watching him field I don’t think you can tell much from it, other than that he’s got to be more consistent.
You are right
perpective is everything and with another SS most of them could have been hits. Let’s hope!
We just need to move Jose Molina to center field.

I’d promote McCoy and send Patterson to the minors and release Rivera. McCoy a more versatile option of the bench, he’s fast, and a far more patient hitter than Patterson. He’s adequate in Center Field and it’s good for his career to get time at the position, it’s good for us to see if he’s an adequate hitting utility player, etc. I’d much rather have McCoy batting second. Mastro may be an option later in the year but his walk rate is down and strikeouts are up considerably in triple A. I don’t think Rivera will get us much in a trade, and what we gain from that trade we lose from not seeing our young players in a rebuilding year. I’d promote either Thames or Cooper (probably Cooper who looked a little bit better against better pitching towards the end of spring). I’d like to see Cooper/Nix/and Encarnacion each start 2/3 of the games b/w DH and 3B. This is not to suggest that Rivera is worthless b/c he had a slow start, just that there is going to better DH options on the trade market come the end of the year, than a guy with his patience and so he is not going to build much value simply letting him play. Soon Davis will be back and Patterson will continue to take up a spot on the bench. I’d rather have McCoy.
Thames
Pick your perspective…
1: Small sample size! he’ll regress to less godly numbers in time.
2: Real Deal! DFA Rivera pronto and call him up!
3: Stupid Vegas, with it’s stupid hitters parks, he’d never be able to hit anything like that in the Bigs.
4: All of the above (to one extent or another)?
The Rangers have apparently signed Leonys Martin

Buddy, I’m in university. 1500 is a lot, let alone 15,000,000.
I'm thinking that when the Leafs win the Cup, I'll lose my drinking problem.

Per MLBTraderumors, Francisco has been activated and Litsch has been sent to AAA
I really thought it would have been JoJo. AA likes his asset collecting.
do you have the link? I don’t see it there.
