Test your prognostication skills in the 2004 Batter's Box Predictions Contest!
Last year's contest drew 39 entries and was miraculously won by yours truly.
The prize for winning this year's contest may or may not include one of the following:
Spring training games are designed to get players ready for the season ahead. For minor league players spring training gives them a chance to test themselves against the best. For 2004 spring training I tracked the appearances of the Blue Jays minor league pitching prospects. I am particularly interested in minor league pitching prospects and I was curious to see how they fared. All of these pitchers are now back in minor league camp getting ready for their season so now is a good time to review their spring.

Everything you say is lies
But to me there's no surprise
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
All the latest and greatest Jays news that's fit to blog.
The latest from Florida and beyond.
Last night, twenty fantasy team owners completed the first five rounds of the 2004 BBFL draft without touching a keyboard or saying a word.
With the draft set to take place next Thursday, yesterday was the last day to announce for owners to change any of their five "keepers," players retained by owners from one season to the next. Surprisingly, no owner made any last-minute changes to decisions announced earlier this month.
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Drifting, falling.
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home...
While I was unsuccessful in getting lots of cities involved, this weekend will be a great one for those of you in London, Ontario or the Toronto area. Rogers Sportsnet is showing the spring-training game featuring the Blue Jays vs. the Astros on March 27th at 1:00PM EST. The Batter's Box and the
Blue Jays Cheer Club would like to meet as many of you as possible, get together to watch the game, have some wings, and generally just have a good time.
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
USA Today ran a story today showing the
total salary obligations that each team has from 2005 - 2010. Once you get past all of the
sensationalistic Seligian headlines (Baseball has $2.8 BILLION in debt!!) it's really interesting to look at.
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality
As Steve Z. alerted us in the Saturday Roundup thread, the National Post ran one of John Lott's typically fine articles, entitled Doc's Breakfast Club. For reasons best known to the Post, only the first paragraph is available on their Web site, unless you register with them. However, after an e-mail exchange with Mr. Z., Mr. Lott has given us permission to reprint it here. Thanks very much, gentlemen.
