We completed our exhibition schedule with a 5 to 1 loss at Charlotte's training complex. We ended up with a 13-17 record, tied for 5th in our division, but we were not trying to win ball games. We were trying to find our 5th starter and sort out the bums in our Bullpen. Richmond had the best record in our division at 17-13 and Orlando had the worst at 11-19, also the worst in all the Grapefruit League. Buffalo had the best record at 22-8.

We made it through the whole schedule without any significant injuries until the very last game, when CF Gary McKellar (34-R) came up with back tightness that Trudy the Trainer says will keep him out for a couple of weeks. He was put on the DL.

3B Ray Teague (28-S) of New Orleans led all players with 31 hits and a .456 BA. Jimmy Ward (29-L) of Indianapolis led with 5 HR and LF Tim Dawson (27-R) of New Orleans led with 18 RBI.

We did not get any more trade offers that were remotely close to being tempting. Editor's Note: I tried the '"Shop and take a player at random" mechanic for RF Rob Worms and 2B Leander Gooding, but no players were offered who were making less than double their salaries...

Three players were cut, two of whom have experience with the Jays: P Mike Gaddis (35-R), who led the 2001 Jays in wins, and RP Brad Kendrick (28-R), who was 1-2 with 1 SV and a 4.87 ERA in 2001 and 2002.

Next up: Meet the Jays!
