Colby Rasmus goes deep in defeat

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus smacked his seventh home run Tuesday during a loss to the Rays. In fact, he scored two of the team's three runs in the loss.  Rasmus, batting seventh, went deep in the fifth inning off starter Alex Cobb. He finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored and is batting .234 on the year. The 26-year-old Rasmus has really struggled in May and has dropped his batting almost 20 full points over his last 10 games. He does have seven homers and 19 RBI, however.

PETERSBURG, Fla. — Among the more damning indictments of John Farrell’s tenure in Toronto came during spring training, when Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus accused his former manager of overreacting whenever times got tough.“It was like panic mode, ‘What are we doing?’ ” Rasmus said. “It was just a bad feeling.”

No need to consider Colby Rasmus undroppable

CBSSports.com Fantasy — I can't say I disagree with Fantasy owners cutting ties with Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus. He's not one of those players you end up regret dropping. If you recall, Rasmus did most of his damage last season batting second. This year, he's mostly batted seventh under a new manager -- John Gibbons. He's produced a .276 average hitting seventh, but has just one home run and 25 strikeouts in 19 games. Rasmus has actually thrived hitting eighth (.333, two HRs, five RBI in four games), but Gibbons hasn't kept him in that spot in the lineup. Rasmus might get on a hot streak, which at that point i...

We've been had: a Toronto Blue Jays preview

South Side Sox — Offense: Emilio Bonifacio-2B, Melky Cabrera-LF, Jose Bautista-RF, Edwin Encarnacion-1B, Adam Lind-DH, J.P. Arencibia-C, Colby Rasmus-CF, Mark DeRosa-3B, Maicer Izturis-SS. Bench: Henry Blanco-C, Munenori Kawasaki-INF, Rajai Davis-OF, Casper Wells-OF. TOR R/G: 4.09. CHW R/G: 3.55. So losing Jose Reyes and Brett Lawrie to start the season off isn't exactly what the Blue Jays were hoping for, but here they are. This has resulted in some interesting roster moves, as backups have been thrust into starting roles, my favorite of which is Emilio Bonifacio. Mr. Goodface came over in the big t...
