It’s
every baseball fans’ favourite time of year - Spring Training is on the horizon*!
Teams are taking shape, optimism abounds and everyone is in first place! Now is
an opportune time to look ahead at what I expect from the Toronto Blue Jays in
2014.
In
a word? Not much.
Shut
up. I know that’s two words.
One
small proviso, though: There is an almost microscopic kernel of optimism
nestled firmly in my medulla oblongata that has me excited for the upcoming
season. You may be asking yourself: “Why would this dimwit be optimistic?” Well
that’s a great question, and here’s my answer: the 2014 Blue Jays are,
essentially, the 2013 Blue Jays**, who were a near-consensus pick to not only
make the playoffs, but to also win the World Series, and the team that played
most of last season was decimated by injuries. If a few things go well, really well, and everyone stays
reasonably healthy, they have a chance!
Without
further adieu, below is my in-depth analyses of the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays.***
