Quietly Scott Rolen has been swinging hot stick

After a weak offensive 1st season with the Jays, 3rd baseman Scott Rolen really has got his swing together. He made adjustments last year in his swing as he battled through a sore shoulder...

Thus far in the first week of the season, he has benefited from being behind the scorching hot Adam Lind in the batting order. Though he hasn't put up huge power numbers (1 home run, 2 RBI), he has an outstanding batting average, hitting at a .421 clip through 6 games...

His defense last year was simply phenomenal. There was never a doubt about the veteran's glove. Maybe, just maybe, the Jays are starting to get a great return on their investment in the Troy Glaus for Scott Rolen deal...

Somewhere J.P. Ricciardi is smiling...
