Blue Jays' string of bad luck continues
It appears that 23 year old Marcus Stroman will miss the entire 2015 season after suffering a torn left ACL in practice on Tuesday morning. The injury occurred as Stroman was attempting to field a bunt during a defensive drill. This is obviously a devastating piece of news for Blue Jays fans as Stroman was essentially the projected "Ace" of the Blue Jays rotation, backed by veterans Mark Buehrle and R.A Dickey. Stroman was reportedly developing a fantastic early chemistry with newly acquired catcher Russell Martin. This is the second knee injury for the Jays this spring as outfielder Micheal Saunders tore his meniscus when he stepped on a sprinkler on February 25th. The team is not expected to make any knee-jerk reactions in terms of big spending or trades, so pressure will likely be on the young arms of Aaron Sanchez and Daniel Norris to step up, as well as veteran Marco Estrada, who started 70 games for the Milwaukee Brewers between 2009-2014.
