...sort of. Nasty weather has staggered the Jays' higher-level farm teams, as AA New Haven has experienced three consecutive washouts and, more problematically, AAA Syracuse has had six straight rain/snowouts. That spells a lot of doubleheaders later in the year, which is never a good thing for a pitching staff.
On the brighter side, High-A Dunedin has seen sunnier skies in the Florida State League, and is off to a very respectable 4-3 start. The D-Jays' Website is not exactly rich in detail about statistics and player performances, though they're more than happy to report that every Thursday is Coors Guys Night Out. However, game summaries indicate that Russ Adams and Tyrell Godwin have started off the year particularly hot, and that the pitchers are throwing bullets.
Dustin McGowan and Chad Pleiness have both had very strong games, while Justin Maureau had a great start against Clearwater. Slightly tougher times were had by a rehabbing Justin Miller and young phenom David Bush, who's converting back to the rotation, but even those outings were quite respectable. Personal favourite Jordan DeJong has been solid in relief as well.
More updates to follow during the course of the season, especially as the weather improves and (hopefully) the team Websites get updated a little more extensively.
