Kudos to Scott Carson

I wanted to post a few excerpts from Scott Carson's latest blog on Sportsnet. I think it's great that instead of asking "the question" he is giving praise to a player that has never had a history of any wrong doing. Scott didn't stir the pot, except when he chirped that blogger we all hate, and he kept the good vibe going in Toronto baseball. In a time when things are so bleak in Toronto sports, we need more writers that will praise the good guys and not automatically assume the worst. I support Bombtista, and I hope he keeps going. He has been a great leader on and off the field (mentoring young Spanish speaking players) and has been there in the clutch.

Anyway, here are some tid bits from Scott's blog to keep the good vibrations alive!


"It’s time for all of baseball to start paying attention to Jose Bautista.
In a game also being beamed back to the massive audience that tune into Yankees games on the YES Network and across Canada on the network I work for, Bautista was involved in just about every highlight of the Jays thrilling 3-2 win over the majors' top team."

Great exposure for the Jays and Bautista. MLB better begin to take notice, this is going to be a fun team to watch the next couple of years.

"He’s started flipping his bat in an "I’m the man" manner that Toronto baseball fans haven’t seen in these parts since Bell blasted a club-record 47 bombs in 1987. And the way that he explodes on fastballs reminds me of Delgado, circa 2003."

If he can hit like Delgado and Bell did for the next few years, I would be amazed...however he is in the prime of his career and we can always hope that this is just his true talent emerging. I personally foresee him more as a 30 HR guy once pitchers figure him out a bit better, but I will take 30HR from Jose any day.

"Bautista is currently on pace for 52 home runs which would likely lead the majors and a feat that, if it were a Maple Leaf player going for the goal-scoring lead in the NHL, would be catching the attention of all sports fans in Toronto. Instead, the spectre of steroid/HGH use is floated, unfounded, by a member of the Toronto media who sticks to hockey, not a sport that he casually glances at when bored."

Well said.

The Toronto media needs more guys like Scott Carson.

Until next time
