A Beautiful Way To Start May

As I just got finished watching Jason Frasor snag another victory, and the Jays continue to be awesome, I have to take a look at how the Jays are doing individually.

Robert Ray, part-time pro wrestler (according to Drunk Jays Fans), made his MLB debut today and pitched effectively. Another MLB on Tuesday, as Brett Cecil looks to pwn the opposition.

Offensively, the Jays have been just swell with the sticks, and Aaron Hill is leading the charge, along with Adam Lind.

The leaders in batting average are Hill (.374), Millar (.333), Barajas (.329), Lind (.320), and Jose Bautista & Scott Rolen (.318).

Hill hit his 6th HR of the season, to capture the lead over Scutaro & Lind (5 each).

Lind has 23 RsBI to lead the team, with Hill (at 22) just behind him.

The pitching has been a mixed bag, with a few guys sucking huge cock (Ryan, Litsch, Purcey & Burres). Jason Frasor, Scott Downs, and Jesse Carlson have all been very stellar so far this season. Brian Tallet has been huge in the roation in 3 starts (he did suck a little weiner against KC) and pre-injury Ricky Romero was awesome.

Bill Murphy, Shawn Camp, and Brandon League have been good as well in the bullpen.


Well, that's it for the major leaguers. I don't really want to talk about stats too much, but that's all I got for the minor leaguers. I want to take a look at how some of the kids on the farm are starting the season.

Las Vegas 51's (AAA)

• Joe Inglett is hitting .333, showing (again) that he is too good for AAA.
• Russ Adams is slugging .618 (with a .324 AVG.). Maybe he deserves another shot?
• Brett Harper is hitting really well with a .316 AVG, with 4 HR and 17 RsBI.
• Randy Ruiz is also being a valuable veteran in AAA, hitting .310 with 6 HR and 23 RsBI.
• Buck Coats has 6 SB and a .388 OBP.
• JP Arencibia has 9 2B, but has struggled mightily so far in AAA.
• Brad Mills has been pretty lame in AAA, going 0-2 with a 4.71 ERA.
• Brett Cecil has been pretty shitty as well, with a 8.31 ERA and a 0-3 record.
• Jonah Bayliss has pitched 16 shutout innings so far this year, allowing just 1 unearned run.
• Brian Bullington, Jeremy Accardo & Davis Romero are the other sub 2.00 ERA pitchers on the team. (Robery Ray & Bill Murphy were 0.00 ERA guys in very limited innings)

• Ray Gonzalez has been a stellar pitcher so far (1.39 ERA).
• Fabio Castro has been even better (0.83 ERA) before his call-up to AAA.
