In my last blog post, entitled Blue Jays Prospects of the Week (May 23-29) I ended off Brett Lawrie’s blurb by saying “There’s no stopping Brett, and there’s no doubt he will be called up very soon.”

There’s no stopping Brett… How could I?  As I am a little superstitious, I apologize for this epic jinx.

As most have heard by now, Brett Lawrie was hit by a pitch on the left hand while playing for Las Vegas on May 31st.  A CT-scan revealed today that he has a non-displaced fracture on a bone on the back of his hand.  He will be out roughly 2-4 weeks.

Lawrie was just days away from being promoted to the Blue Jays.

While this is all just coincidence, there is no doubt that Lawrie should have a long, successful baseball career with the Blue Jays, and will no doubt see plenty of playing time at the big league level this year.

Get well quick Brett!
