I like to spread a little Sunshine and Light around here from time to time.

Not always, though. Just sometimes

A look at JP Ricciardi from Jeff Blair.  A pretty good & fair article.

No real surprises with the team to start the season.  Rolen and Ryan start the year on the DL and Buck Coats and Rule 5 pick Randy Wells benefit from that.

Or so says Ken Rosenthal who has scooped all the local writers.

Robbie Alomar, if he goes to the HOF, wants it to be as a Jay after getting put on the Circle of Excellence opening day.

Also BJ Ryan has soreness in his elbow. Joba back to being a setup man.

BJ Ryan returned to action today.  He pitched a scoreless inning, striking out two and inducing a ground ball.

Can't ask for more than that.

Team Canada has made it into the Olympics!  Billy Crystal leads off for Yanks!  Schilling on 60 day DL!  Padres in China!  Lots of !!!!

If there are any things more useless than spring stats, its spring stats in a small sample!

Jays dropped their Grapefruit League opener yesterday.  The season is doomed!

Saw this linked at BTF and thought Bauxites might be interested, if they haven't heard this story already on Travis Snider.  Jordan Bastian at MLB.com had a similar article a couple weeks ago.

The Jays signed Shannon Stewart to a minor league contract.

At the bottom of this Jeff Blair column there's a blurb that Dustin McGowan put on some muscle this offseason and now has a routine down to deal with diabetes.

Gary Denbo takes over for Mickey Brantley this year. The Globe ran a piece on him today.

Ah yes, if you hear those words spring training must be right around the corner.

Robert MacLoud has some pre-spring training tidbits as does Bob Elliot.  The biggest thing is that BJ Ryan might be ready when the season begins.

After all, this time next week we will at least be thinking about Florida.
