It was a good start to the season for the affiliates. New Hampshire were the only losers while Buffalo won two. Several starting pitchers had good nights and seven hitters went deep for the first time, including Orelvis.

Here we go.

No time even for a witty headline...

The Bisons suffered their first loss of 2022 to fall to .500. Meanwhile, Vancouver celebrated the return of baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium.

The defending International League East Division champion Buffalo Bisons opened the 2022 season with a one-run win at home.

So we know the Jays roster now (depending on last second trades of course). Past time for a new general thread and this is as good an excuse for one as any.

That's it! You all have stood the way of my predictions long enough! I'm going to that clown college!

It's almost time for some minor league baseball. This year, because of the lockout, some minor league baseball will start before the major leagues. Buffalo start on Tuesday. The other three teams start on Friday, the same day as the Jays.

Free Joey... Free Joey... Free Joey...

Hey, there's a season! Lets do this again.

Well, it seems the Jays have settled everything on the payroll front...for now with all arbitration eligible players settled.

The top 40 prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays farm system have been announced by Baseball America. However, it is really a Top 37 ranking as three of the players are no longer with the organization.


Spencer Horwitz enjoyed a breakout season in 2021 with Vancouver to place him in the top half of the Baseball America Blue Jays prospect rankings.

So how will our lineup do this year vs last? Lets dig into ZiPS (publicly available) projections to get an idea.
