End of Season Statistics





--Catchers--



Rod Barajas- .300, 20 HR, 70 RBI
Curtis Thigpen- .177, 1 HR, 9 RBI
Michael Barrett- .270, 0 HR, 8 RBI
J.P. Arencibia- .230, 0 HR, 3 RBI
Raul Chavez- .066, 0 HR, 1 RBI

It was a tough season for catchers in Toronto as the Jays used a total of five catchers throughout the season despite the fact they had a bona fide number one catcher (Rod Barajas) for the first time this decade. Barajas was one of the Jays' best players all season and made his first All Star team. If it had not been for a late season injury that kept him out a month he could have hit 30 home runs. Behind Barajas no one really stood out until late in the season when rookie J.P. Arencibia laid claim to the lead in the early race for backup catcher next season. The veterans of the bunch, Thigpen, Barrett and Chavez were all inconsistent this season and it is possible that none of them will be back next season.

Grade:
B

--Corner Infielders--



1B Lyle Overbay- .335, 27 HR, 106 RBI
1B Kevin Millar- .310, 1 HR, 10 RBI
3B Adrian Beltre- .287, 23 HR, 96 RBI
3B Mark Sobolewski- .309, 11 HR, 33 RBI
3B Jose Bautista- .325, 18 HR, 60 RBI
3B Joe Inglett- .341, 3 HR, 16 RBI

This unit was led by the sweet hitting of first baseman Lyle Overbay who rebounded from a dismal 2008 campaign to lead the American League in hitting and earn a spot as an All Star. Along with midseason pickup Adrian Beltre this unit provided tons of power for the light hitting Jays through many feel Beltre did not perform up to expectations in the latter part of the season. Mark Sobolewski and Jose Bautista were perhaps the Jays' best bench players this season and the 21 year old Sobolewski looks like a middle of the order talent.

Grade:
A

--Middle Infielders--



2B Aaron Hill- .323, 9 HR, 67 RBI
2B Ryan Raburn- .330, 3 HR, 17 RBI
SS Marco Scutaro- .278, 6 HR, 36 RBI
SS Russ Adams- .119, 0 HR, 1 RBI
SS Justin Jackson- .113, 0 HR, 2 RBI
SS John McDonald- .266, 2 HR, 17 RBI

The starters in the middle of the Jays' infield combined for 15 home runs this season, something the Jays had hoped would double this year for Aaron Hill and Marco Scutaro. However, they did provide bang for the Jays' buck on the defensive side of the ball where they became on of the best double play combinations in baseball this season. Hill's backup Ryan Raburn, a midseason acquisation from the Detroit Tigers, was a very hot hitter until he went down to injury in late August. Scutaro's backups on the other hand, combined for only two home runs all season and due to the amount of injuries that seemed to befall Blue Jays shortstops, the team played every shortstop in their system this season, through the results were not what they hoped for.

Grade:
C+

--Outfielders--



RF Alex Rios- .299, 21 HR, 90 RBI
RF Wayne Lydon- .273, 4 HR, 11 RBI
CF Vernon Wells- .328, 20 HR, 110 RBI
CF Jim Edmonds- .382, 15 HR, 42 RBI
LF Adam Loewen- .271, 3 HR, 12 RBI
LF Travis Snider- .297, 4 HR, 24 RBI
LF Adam Lind- .328, 17 HR, 75 RBI

Everyone knows about the sweet hitting outfielders the Jays employ, from grimy veteran to fresh faced youngster, this outfield had it. The grimy veteran was May signing Jim Edmonds, who if not for an injury that kept him out three months, could have hit 30 home runs. Edmonds' was not only a middle of the order threat but a mentor for youngsters Adam Loewen, Adam Lind and Travis Snider, all who had breakout seasons. The franchise players in the outfield rebounded from off years as well as Alex Rios and Vernon Wells combined to hit 41 home runs and drive in 200 runs to dispell the notion they were overpriced busts.

Grade:
A-

--Starting Pitchers--



Roy Halladay- 17-9, 144 K, 3.73 ERA
Brian Tallet- 4-0, 13 K, 4.30 ERA
Scott Richmond- 14-8, 102 K, 4.16 ERA
David Purcey- 8-8, 105 K, 5.21 ERA
Brian Burres- 7-4, 65 K, 4.23 ERA
Brett Cecil- 2-0, 11 K, 4.44 ERA
Matt Clement- 0-0, 10 K, 7.45 ERA
Luis Perez- 1-0, 2 K, 7.36 ERA
Bryan Bullington- 0-0, 2 Saves, 9 K, 6.32 ERA

The discussion about the Toronto Blue Jays' starting pitchers starts and ends with Roy Halladay. After a terrible first half in which he went into the All-Star break with a 6-8 record, Halladay went 11-1 the rest of the way to push the Jays into playoff contention. Another bright spot was Canadian left hander Scott Richmond who finished 14-8 with a 4.16 ERA and stepped up as the second starter after the Jays traded touted righty Jesse Litsch at the deadline for Beltre. The Jays played a lot of youth at this position this season and garnered strong performances from young pitchers such as Brian Burres, Brett Cecil and Bryan Bullington who efficiently filled the holes Dustin McGowan and Shawn Marcum left. With those two top of the rotation guys back next year look for this unit to be one of the league's best.

Grade:
B-

--Relief Pitchers--



Ricky Romero- 0-0, 10 K, 4.02 ERA
Casey Janssen- 3-3, 1 Save, 27 K, 5.91 ERA
Brandon League- 2-5, 3 Saves, 63 K, 3.09 ERA
Jason Frasor- 3-2, 1 Save, 47 K, 4.50 ERA
Jeremy Accardo- 4-5, 3 Saves, 62 K, 3.09 ERA
Joe Beimel- 4-5, 21 K, 4.22 ERA
Marty McCleary- 0-0, 4 K, 13.50 ERA
Fabio Castro- 0-1, 3 K, 4.91 ERA
Shawn Camp- 0-2, 3 Saves, 5 K, 2.70 ERA
T.J. Beam- 0-0, 4 K, 3.38 ERA
B.J. Ryan- 3-2, 24 Saves, 32 K, 3.89 ERA
Scott Downs- 10-9, 5 Saves, 87 K, 4.16 ERA

Dissapointing is a good word to describe the performance of the Jays' relief corps this season. Their closer (B.J. Ryan) and prime setup man (Jason Frasor) were both sent down late in the season due to burgaining performance while the young callups all looked as if they were thrown into the fire too quickly. The bullpen blew at least 15 games for the Jays and for most players inconsistentcy brought them down. The Jays and manager Cito Gaston expect a better performance from the 'pen next season.
