Throughout the years, the team’s audience has had a reputation as being pretty laid back. Toronto has never really been a big-time baseball town (notwithstanding the bandwagon jumping of the World Series title years) and we’re Canadian, subsequently we’re polite as all hell.

Denis might not be a show-stealer, but he’ll be consistent, and maybe even great. And the good thing is that a lot of people forget about him, so you can use a later pick on him in your Fantasy draft.

As training camp rolls along, certain running back situations are starting to show some clarity (and some aren’t). The following is a list of “handcuff situations.” This means that if you take one of these players, you should make an effort to take the other as well because the competitions are so close that the second option could easily be the first option at some point during the season.

After going 1-0, 5.41 during Spring Training with the Yanks, he was assigned to High-A. He lasted just five starts there, recording a 1.80 ERA over 30 IP with only 19 hits allowed while fanning 30. Hughes was quickly ushered up to Double-A, where the prospects are separated from the projects. Well, he’s clearly a prospect: in 16 starts and 91 IP, he’s gone 6-3 and has allowed a mere 65 hits and five homers while striking out 106. He’s limiting opponents to a .199 average. Uh, yeah.

Torii Hunter has been relatively healthy this year, on pace to play his most games in three seasons, and he’s responded with some solid totals. On Sunday, he extended his hitting streak to seven games with a 3-for-5 performance with a run and pair of RBI. Hunter was just a home run short of the cycle and has lifted his average from .269 to .280 during the run. Our chief complaint about him is the lack of steals — just six so far after topping 20 in each of the last two seasons, even last year when injuries held him under 100 games played.
