Prospect Porn

I wanted this to be a series but no one was interested in writing it. So share below the stories of the prospects in the system you are most excited about.

I remember.

The baseball off season is a time of angst and speculation. Worry about roster construction, payroll parameters, budgets, who is out of options, depth signings, organizational changes is enough to drive a fan to the point of drink,drank,drunk.So while we get concerned over the current state of affairs, as we consider the future of our beloved Blue Jays, let's remember what happened last off season leading up to opening day. It's about to happen all over again.
Remember.

Baseball the Best

In life there are few things I've loved as strongly or as passionately as I do the game of baseball.
It's perfect but yet totally imperfect.

For The Love Of The Game

For the last couple weeks, this post has been swirling around in my head. Combined with current events (both sporting and otherwise), my own adventures in parenting and my son's first experience playing baseball, and my own experience here on this blog and the community that has followed DJF. The things that take a huge disparate group of people, who on paper have nothing in common, and bring them together, screaming at televisions and frightening the kids on the porch.

Something to dream on

So a month ago, Jays land was a pit of despair. They were wandering in the desert.The offence was anemic and the bullpen was coughing up every lead. The bullshit in Texas happened and then to add insult to injury, they were swept at home by the Rays.

Then the team went to Minny and got into the sunshine, literally. The dome was opened. The offence started showing signs of life. The bullpen started to have some good outings. Things started to turn a corner. We've seen the return of the 2-out hit, the clean inning, scoring runners, hitting bombs.

Someday I hope there's a study on the effects on only playing under lights for an extended period of time. The Jays sure did a lot of it the first couple of months.

Even though it was a tough loss to lose the series in Baltimore, there's a lot to feel good about. Stroman's struggling now but Dickey's getting stronger so the rotation is still holding solid. Edwin and Saunders are on fire, Travis is finding his groove, Russell found his, Tulo's back and looking better, The bullpen is having more clean innings and is not the dumpster fire it used to be.

A month ago I gave you a thread to bitch. Now I'm giving you a thread to celebrate. Let's talk about all the good things we've been seeing from the team lately.

Baseball dream vacation

On this off day, let's engage in a little dream casting. If money was no object, what would be your dream baseball vacation?

I'm torn between 3.
