Two wins and two losses... Not bad for the affiliates given the poor seasons they all seem to be having.

Las Vegas won big in Colorado behind a great night at the plate by Jason Lane. New Hampshire was postponed while Andrew Liebel suffered another loss in Dunedin. Meanwhile, a former Blue Jay farmhand came back to haunt the Jays as scored the winning run in Lansing’s extra-inning loss.

Here are some links and analysis following both days of the draft.

What did we learn on this night? Some of the prospects can really hit. Everyone brought their bats but the Fisher Cats. And the 51s, but they were off. Sadly, they almost out-performed the Fisher Cats' hitters.

The Jays have reportedly signed OF David Dellucci to a minor league deal, and will call him up after a couple of games in AAA.

While I had the spreadsheet open, I thought I'd check Jays starts on short rest. This data goes all the way back to the beginning.

Only a Lansing doubleheader split prevented a winless night for the affiliates as they went 1-4.  However, some individuals managed to shine - especially at Oldsmobile Park.

Jordan Bastian reports on his blog that Jesse Litsch will be undergoing Tommy John surgery this week.

Has the draft always been in the evening? I seem to remember if being an afternoon affair... I suppose they want to capitalize on TV audiences. Anyway, it goes down at 6PM tonight.

In the wake of Roy Halladay's recent 133 pitch effort, the most ever in his career, I took a quick look at how Halladay had fared in his subsequent outings (very, very well indeed as it turned out.)

Seeing as how I have all this data available, I thought I'd also have a look as to where that game stood on the all-time list of pitches thrown by a Blue Jays starter, as well as any other bright and shiny objects that caught my attention.

The bats and brooms were out Monday night, as both Dunedin and Las Vegas had big offensive days, with Dunedin sweeping their two game tilt against St. Lucie.

Just when you thought you were done with all the 20th anniversary stories about the home ballpark of your Toronto Blue Jays!

Ten days ago, In Lansing I spent some time with Kenny Wilson, Mark Sobolewski and Markus Brisker and had them answer a few questions.  Wilson was on the DL and is still on the DL but as you will see from his answer he hopes to be back this week.  A couple of days after our chat Markus Brisker was reassigned to extended spring training, hopefully he will have a chance to play in Auburn this summer.

So I'm watching the game and I hear Campbell and Tabler are talking about next month's All Star Game.

Clayton McCullough is back for his second year as manager of the Lansing Lugnuts.  Recently in Lansing he answered some questions about the 2009 Lugnuts.
