This Week In The Jaysophere (3/21-3/27)

As spring training winds to a close, with meaningless games turning slightly meaningful because suddenly everybody's down to almost their opening day rosters, it's time to introduce a new regular feature at Blue Jays A.D.

We don't want to be your one-stop shop for all things Jays-related (and judging by the statistics Google gives us, we sure aren't). There's lots of people out there who know more about the Jays and are better writers than we are. Every week, we'll provide you with a short list of some of our favourite articles from the past seven days.
