Today all of the Jays affiliates had the day off for Easter Sunday!
Well, then, how about a link? Here's something from FanGraphs on Mitch Nay. Not your typical FanGraphs piece but a nice bit of bio.

Great read on Nay, thanks for the link. I love hearing the role his grandfather has in his career ... as someone who can thank my grandpa for my love of the game, I enjoy hearing that type of story.
I wonder what keeps a guy like bobby korecky going - 34 years old, a middle reliever in AAA with some 2 dozen big league appearances in his career... here's hoping that he keeps it up and gets a Sept. call for the bigs.

Matt Boyd warm? 23 IP in 4 starts, 16 H, 1 HR, 5 W, 25K, 0.39 ERA. Yeah, he's 23 and he is in the Florida State League, but really what more could you hope for?
Dalton Pompey is off to a fine start too.

AJ Jimenez is back from being on the DL with a hamstring strain. He was out about as much time as Jose Reyes.
yeah its an age thing for Boyd, as with Hendriks. plus just a little lack of history coming in.
and thanks for pointing out the Pompey mistake, he was meant to slot in the warm group right behind guerrero with his 65pa/136wrc+ line.
