Fixing J.P. Arencibia
After a flawed-but-promising rookie season in 2011, it was easy to think that, with a few adjustments, J.P. Arencibia could become a star. It hasn't happened. Instead of progressing, Arencibia seems to be getting worse.

The great disappearing curveball
The curveball is disappearing from the weapons rack of Major League Baseball a generation removed from when almost every pitcher had a fastball, curve and changeup in his arsenal.

Brett Lawrie's season a mixed bag
He has
pretty much filled in every spot on the Brett Lawrie Bingo card, and
it's only May. He's been on the DL (twice), been ejected, yelled at his
teammates, played amazing defence and been obnoxious on Twitter. About the only thing Brett Lawrie hasn't done is hit.

Blue Jays quarter-season report card
The
season hasn't begun the way the Blue Jays wanted, but some hope has emerged as Toronto has a four-game win streak going and has
finally figured out how to use its bats. Here's a first-term report card for the Jays' key players.

Blue Jays are good ballclub simply playing poorly
Aside from a three-game winning streak, the Toronto Blue Jays have been a major disappointment this season, but the reality is they're a good team that isn't showing it on the field.

Did You See That? J.A. Happ takes line drive off head
What was supposed to be a regular A.L. East battle between the Tampa Bay Rays and Blue Jays took a scary turn Tuesday night when J.A. Happ took a line drive off the left side of his head in the second inning.

Reyes injury puts Blue Jays in awkward positions
The Toronto Blue Jays will have to come up with some creative roster juggling in order to make up for the loss of all-star shortstop and offensive sparkplug Jose Reyes to injury.

Jose Bautista's umpire-bashing could be costly
Jose Bautista caused a bit of a stir on Wednesday by talking to reporters about his outbursts with umpires.
Bautista has always been pretty willing to let umpires and everyone
else know when he disagrees with a call, and his latest comments won't endear him
to major league umps.

What will Melky Cabrera give the Blue Jays?
The Toronto Blue Jays' off-season signing of Melky Cabrera really signing surprised me. Here's what I think the Jays can expect this season from their new left-fielder as he comes off last year's 50-game suspension.

Romero hopes to follow Halladay's path back to majors
The Blue Jays' demotion of Ricky Romero to Dunedin carries echoes of Roy Halladay's banishment to A-ball in 2001, when the late pitching coach Mel Queen helped rebuild him into the best hurler in Toronto history.

2013 is Blue Jays' year to contend
A flurry of high-profile off-season moves by GM Alex Anthopoulos, plus a healthy Jose Bautista, better luck with
avoiding injuries, and some improvement from younger players could land the Toronto Blue Jays in the post-season for the first time since 1993.

Alex Anthopoulos, Blue Jays helping to distract angry NHL fans
For the first time in almost 20 years, Canada's lone remaining MLB team is creating more of a buzz than the country's
favourite national sport. Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos has turned a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 1993 into a contender.
While in doing so, he's also helped to pacify swarms of angry NHL fans.

R.A. Dickey worth the hefty price tag for Blue Jays
If you weren't convinced that the Toronto Blue Jays were going all in to win a championship in 2013 after their blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins last month, then you should be now with the acquisition of R.A. Dickey.

John Gibbons is gutsy hire by Blue Jays GM
Given what Toronto Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos was seeking in manager, settling on John Gibbons is perceived as more of a gutsy choice than an inspired one.

Blue Jays send clear message with blockbuster trade
With apologies to Pat Gillick, who traded for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar on Dec. 5, 1990, the 12-player swap that Alex Anthopoulos reportedly consummated with the Miami Marlins should go down as the biggest in franchise history.
