A note: if you're new to Batter's Box, the Advance Scouts, in the past,
"have offered a bullet-point series of notes to help Bauxites prepare
for the Jays' upcoming opponents. Traditionally, this has meant a mix
of local-media accounts, statistical trends of key players, and a
breakdown of team lineups." Thanks to Mike D, our regular Scout, for
the
explanation.
Speaking
of Mike, media reports indicate he has been kidnapped by a law firm in
New York and forced to do their bidding for the low, low rate of
$150/hour plus benefits. Or something. Anyway, with his work
committments, he is unfortunately not able to provide the regular
high-quality scouting readers have come to expect. But it's all right,
as yours truly is here to either a) save the day or b) become the Ross
Moschitto to Mike's Roger Maris.
Enough preamble -- On to the Advance Scout!
