And let me explain some of the reasons why:
J.P. Arencibia
Literally a week into Spring Training, the clear cut favorite to head north of the giant Canadian-US border is J.P. Arencibia, who's belted three mammoth bombs including one in the ninth inning against the Detroit Tigers which would end up being the winning runs. Reports from various sources have alluded to the fact that Arencibia last year suffered from failing vision that hindered not only his offensive ability at night and during the day, but his defense. Arencibia was quickly dropping off the charts until....laser eye surgery. Look at the turnaround so far. I hope he keeps it up because all Toronto fans want to see is homerun after homerun.
Randy Ruiz
It wouldn't be short of me to say that Randy Ruiz simply possesses power.
Jose Bautista
Just like the journeyman Scutaro, Bautista is thriving in the leadoff hole- and you couldn't say enough about finally applying Cito's hitting genius philosophy. You now see what the Blue Jays saw in Jose Bautista- a guy who is all around player defensively and offensively that could spark an offense.
That's three reasons why the Jays have reeled off five straight victories. I know it's just Spring Training, and nobody has any high expectations for the Blue Jays- but let's just enjoy this year and see what they can do.
It's only because in the game of baseball, just about anything can happen.
