My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): They’re definitely not the Montreal Expos anymore. The deep-pocketed Washington Nationals have been linked to almost every big name free agent this season. The team reportedly has interest in Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Roy Oswalt and Mark...

But What Do I Know? … Dustin McGowan, Erik Bedard, Zach Stewart
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): Jays right-hander Dustin McGowan just completed his final rehab assignment in Dunedin on Friday. Coming off multiple arm surgeries, the former first rounder has consistently hit 95 mph on the radar gun this season. He will pitch... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Colby Rasmus, Rich Harden, Matt Stairs
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): If I’m Paul Beeston, who represents a powerful voice on the Major League Baseball competition committee, I’m pushing for divisional realignment. If the Jays were in the American League Central, they’d be two games out of first... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Marc Rzepczynski, Corey Patterson, Erik Bedard
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): It will be a Toronto baseball writer’s worst nightmare when Asher Wojciechowski joins Marc Rzepczynski on the Blue Jays staff. I’m not even sure if Wojciechowski’s name will fit on the back of a jersey. As... Continue Reading →

My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories (Please follow me on Twitter: @kevinglewsports): I’m old enough to remember George Bell patrolling the outfield for the Jays, and circus music played in my head when the ball was hit to Fred Lewis last season, but those two seem like Gold Glove...

But What Do I Know? … David Cooper, Rajai Davis, Peter Gammons
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: Lost in the excitement over uber prospects Anthony Gose and Kyle Drabek this spring has been the solid play of 24-year-old, first baseman David Cooper. The 2008 first-rounder’s three hits – including his first homer – against Pittsburgh on Wednesday give him 11... Continue Reading →
But What Do I Know? … Brett Lawrie, Rich Harden, Alex Anthopoulos
My weekly opinions, observations and rants about some Canadian baseball stories: If the Yankees can’t sign prize left-hander Cliff Lee, they can always pursue the second-best starting pitcher on the free agent market. That would be Carl Pavano. Wait a second, that didn’t work out very well last time, did it? I liked... Continue Reading →
Where will Erik Bedard end up in 2011?
A bad attitude and a bad shoulder make for a bad investment. This is probably an unfair assessment of Navan, Ont., native Erik Bedard, who has been sidelined by injuries for the bulk of the past three seasons. He missed the entire 2010 campaign with shoulder woes. A Cy Young candidate with the Orioles in... Continue Reading →
