Just how bad do the Blue Jays need June 1st to get here? Look at this write up from Rotoworld.com:
The Blue Jays’ third basemen have gone an astounding 0-for-45 over Toronto’s
past 13 games.
Over that time-frame, Jayson Nix is 0-for-22, John McDonald
0-for-18 and Edwin Encarnacion 0-for-5. On the year, Nix is now hitting .164,
McDonald .222 and Encarnacion .236. For the season, the Blue Jays’ third basemen
entered Saturday the owners of a combined .170/.227/.266 slash. Meanwhile, down
on the farm, Brett Lawrie continues to abuse Pacific Coast League pitching for
Triple-A Las Vegas, batting .341 to go along with 12 home runs, 17 doubles,
three triples, 40 RBI and a .403 OBP through his first 234 plate appearances.
It’s only a matter of time before he gets the call to the big leagues.

Yikes…maybe it is worth a Super-Two payday to have an upgrade in their lineup. Even if you’re not taking your chances of winning the AL East this year seriously, you can’t really run guys out there to stink up the joint, right? I mean, having the roof on the SkyDome/Rogers Centre, that’s like a huge dutch oven, am I right? Lawrie needs to be up ASAP. Bautista needs help and Lawrie, along with Adam Lind’s return, could move the Jays up the standings.
