Jordan Bastian: An Electro Pop Pioneer

According to his newest profile photo on Major League Bastian, Jays MLB.com correspondent Jordan Bastian was formerly an electro pop pioneer, often spoken of in the same breath as Gary Numan and Yellow Magic Orchestra. His dalliance with musical history can all be derived from the grainy, over-contrasted picture that now adorns his webpage.

I kid. I kid. No one appreciates the number of articles that Bastian churns out more than me. Even the offseason hasn't slowed down the Jays most prolific beat reporter. Bastian's latest piece, from over the weekend, is about the Yankees possible reluctance to offer A.J. Burnett five years.

In other Jays blogging news, our friends at The Southpaw, who the comments section recently took to task, have put up a nice summary of the Arizona Fall League 2008 season and how the Jays prospects fared playing in the Grand Canyon State as well as the Hawaii Winter League.

Our new friends at Bluebird Banter are all bonered up about something that happened in the CFL which unfortunately precludes them from being our friends anymore. Speaking of Bonerville celebrations, the recent retiring of Mike Mussina has placed the Tao of Stieb in the midst of a Viagra extended party. Finally, the smarty pants at Ghostrunner On First liken J.P. Ricciardi's off season strategies to that game that Matt Damon, Ed Norton and John Malkovich played in Rounders.
