Blue Jays Thursday Roundup

Friday, February 20 2004 @ 02:25 AM EST

There's been a conspicuous lack of Blue Jays talk on Batter's Box over the last few days. I thought I'd try and change that by posting some stories you may have missed.

• Richard Griffin's piece in today's Toronto Star talks about the off-season weight loss of Eric Hinske. I predict Hinske is going to have a terrific season; not because he desperately needed to lose weight as some have suggested, but because it looks like his various injuries have healed. Mr. Griffin is a favorite whipping-boy of Bauxites, but I thought this was a great article. If he continues to write more of these, he'll become more friend than foe.

  
  

• Bob Elliott reports that Hinske isn't the only Jay who has lost weight this season. It appears that Vernon Wells may have lost even more weight than Hinske has!

  
  

• The Star also printed the views Jays players Josh Towers and Vernon Wells have on steroids.

  
  

• Shi Davidi of Canadian Press reports that the Jays are still quite optimistic this season, despite the Yankees addition of A-Rod.
