This was a comparison no one ever saw, but with an extreme jump in homers Aaron Hill has matched Justin Morneau in four of the five fantasy categories.

He can bunt, he’s a good two strikes hitter, he can play D and he runs the bases well.

I’m prepared to admit that there are many reasons to fire J.P. Ricciardi but, contrary to what Heyman says, not trading Roy Halladay is not one of them. As far as I know, there was never a truly great offer on the table for him. The Indians kind of killed the market anyway by taking […]

Pete Toms is the dean of ShysterBall commenters. His son — age 6 — is a Blue Jays fan. His son — age 6 — has a blog. He needs traffic. Let’s all go read it and leave some comments. And remember: he’s 6, dudes. Be cool. And don’t patronize him. Let’s talk Jays ball.

TUCK! toons, right here, every Thursday

That’s what Lord Haw Haw is Tweeting this evening: #yankees might – repeat, might – consider giving up joba for #halladay. but wont entertain request of joba & hughes. Whatever.

I sat and read the USA Today while eating my turkey sandwich, so the next few items of the day all come from there. First up, Roy Halladay — who is not going to be traded — on where he’d like to go if he were traded: Halladay, 33, who has a full no-trade clause, […]

I’m sick of the 94 strike being blamed for the demise of baseball in Toronto, it is an excuse not a reason. See the reaction in this country to the NHL lockout for evidence. When the NHL returned TV ratings went up significantly and attendance was boffo. The reason? Simple, we missed hockey. We didn’t […]

The Blue Jays have released B.J. Ryan. He probably has about $14-15 million left on that $47 million deal they gave him. That’s on top of the $99 million or so they owe Vernon Wells through 2014, the $61 million or so they owe Alex Rios through 2014, and the combined $26.5 million or so […]
