Better Know a Team: The Toronto Blue Jays

You'd think the Jays were heading for disaster from the beginning: top earner Dusty Fleming is out to an 0-3 start, and best hitter Marquise Gibson is laid up for another week with a latissimus dorsi strain. But there's reason to believe they will improve on their 8-10 record so far. After all, Nolan Ryan is creeping up the strikeouts leaders board, and 2B Jose Luis Garcia Lopez has hit safely in 14 games.

The rotation: Noodles Hahn, Nolan Ryan, Dusty Fleming, Burt Hooton, Anthony Young

Hooton's been a big plus since returning from IR.

The bullpen: P.J. Conlon, Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky, Jim Korematsu, Claudio Manela, Emiliano Montanez, Ben "Rhino" Rhinelander, Kazuo "The Uzi" Uzuki

Hungo and The Uzi are the effective one-two punch out of the pen, with Uzuki recording 5 saves. Montanez, at 36, failed as a starter and might be on his way out - Steve Hamilton and Dan Bankhead are options pitching in Oshawa. Rhinelander, the only native Canadian on the roster (Thunder Bay) has yet to find any groove so far.

Catchers: Emery Kolb, Duff LaGrow

They've split time pretty evenly behind the dish, and both are hitting well to start.

Infield: 1B Jerry Gonecki, 2B J.L. Garcia Lopez, SS Bert Campaneris, 3B Carmen Fanzone, INF Snuffy Stirnweiss, INF Mario Guerrero

Gonecki, signed for his power, has yet to hit one out this season. Fanzone's been a disappointment, prompting rumors of summoning Cascadian kid sensation Savion Liswick from Oshawa.

Outfield: LF Coco Crisp, CF Willie Davis, RF Marquise Gibson (IR); OF Socks Goldman, OF Horace Speed, OF DeWayne Wise

Somewhat underwhelming group, though Davis is one of the better center fielders in the league.
