Who's On Third?

Minor League Guy, who apparently wasn't important enough to have a real name, was on third, of course.

The boys over at Beyond the Box Score take a look at a teams need for an innings-eating pitcher to be successful. I thought this would be interesting as the Jays only had one in 2011, though that number could increase this year.
Note: This is my 8th Fanshot so plz be nice!

Does having a top-rated farm system help keep the Jays within arms reach of contention for years to come?

I always thought the Blue Jay was an oddly weak choice of an animal for a team mascot - versus the more typically powerful animals like bears, large cats or even eagles.

Mind you I always had benignly good feelings towards blue jays, who were colourful and welcome birds in our garden growing up in Ottawa.

So I was interested in reading the article below to find out that blue jays are more aggressive and wilier animals than I'd realized, and also ones that have been surprisingly maligned.

After 25 years as a Jays fan, this gives me much more respect for their choice as the team mascot.

Michael Crouse and Marcus Knecht. I think the one on the far right is Jake Marisnick, not sure.

Possible new old Blue Jays Logo.

New uniform design?

The Toronto Star is running its call to submit ideas for redesigned Jays uniforms, which by and large are unbelievably awful.

That said, I like this submission for the caps, which look great. The monochrome treatment of the classic logo - in blue and white - gives it a real classic look.
