Lawrie has potential to be most popular Blue Jay
Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter stand back, there is a Canadian with talent on the Blue Jays roster.
And we love our Canadians.
Brett Lawrie made his major league debut last night vs the Baltimore Orioles, going 2-4 with an RBI single and an 8th inning single which saw Colby Rasmus thrown out at the plate in a close call.
Toronto has never had a Canadian player with this much hype surrounding him, with projections of a +.300 average, good power, great hitting instincts not to mention speed and a good old Canadian hockey in your face style of play, Brett could be just what the doctor ordered to put bums back in the seats at the Rogers Centre.
Lawrie looked like a seasoned pro at the plate not allowing obvious nerves to get in the way of his approach at the plate, which saw him work the count in all 4 AB's leading to two well hit singles, Brett's AAA numbers speak for themselves, and he looks every bit of what Blue Jays brass has been cautiously giddy about since the Shaun Marcum to Milwaukee trade.
Alex Anthopolous has put together a nucleus of excellent talent from 1-9 save for the hitting troubles of Aaron Hill (who likely will not be re-signed after 2011), this Blue Jays team while still a ways to go mainly in the pitching department, will be a contender for years to come and a formidable one at that, Brett Lawrie will be right in the middle of that.
Brett Lawrie jerseys are about to be a hot commodity.
