Toronto Blue Jays Player Music Listing

Today's MLB Player Music Special takes us north of the border to the only major baseball franchise based in Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays featured an entirely overhauled roster last year with the additions of many players from the Miami Marlins that was supposed to complement the already existing lineup, but they fell short once again last year, resulting in another losing season and a great number of despondent Blue Jays fans in the process as well. The team is getting ready to put last season behind them and focus on the future, with the usual suspects including Edwin Encarnacion and Joey Bats otherwise known as Jose Bautista ready to charge ahead of the rest of the pack in the AL East this year. Here is a look at the major players and their walk up song choices:

Adam Lind: Will.I.Am f/ Britney Spears - Scream & Shout

The first baseman and DH has this pop mainstay as his personal walk up song choice. Lind had a solid season last year, plating 23 homers and 67 RBI's and anchoring a solid offensive attack that drove in runs when counted upon. Lind has been with the Blue Jays since 2006, and has constantly been favored for his strong work ethic and offensive presence.

Brandon Morrow: 311 - Creatures (For A While)

This prime starter has some excellent musical taste with this solid 311 track as his entrance song. Known as a strong starter, he has shortened seasons due to a variety of injuries, but he is highly regarded as a hard thrower with a decimating pitch arsenal that can reach low to high 90's at any given time, and is persistent as ever in his quest to finish each game deeply.

Brett Cecil: Five Finger Death Punch - Coming Down

A starter now converted into a reliever, Cecil sports a commendable entrance song with this number here. While he didn't possess the tools needed to be a starter, Brett has turned into a commendable reliever usually pitching in mop up rolls when the team needs to plug in pitching right away to stop the bleeding, and Cecil always keeps his team and focus on the game ahead.

Brett Lawrie: Nelly - Batter Up

Toronto's third baseman has this appropriately titled Nelly song as his walk up tune. The Canuck has turned in some sizable numbers last year, and has displayed a rugged and athletic sense with his body flailing around attempting to keep balls out of the outfield with spectacular acrobatic catches that are deemed by most to be impossible.

Colby Rasmus: Blake Shelton - Boys 'Round Here

The shaggy haired outfielder has some good old Southern charm with this little nugget from Blake Shelton. The Georgia native has been performing well since he was acquired in a trade from the Cardinals in 2011, and has made some spectacular catches in the outfielder, while going out and making some strong at-bats that drive in runs that can alter the outcome of a game.

Edwin Encarnacion: Nipo - No Tu

The strong hitting first baseman has some native Latin jams to keep him occupied when steps up to the plate. Acquired via a trade with the Reds in 2009, he has been making a strong impact on the club ever since he arrived in Toronto and recently inked a long term contract to stay with the club for the forseeable future.

Jose Bautista: Daddy Yankee - Ven Comingo

Another strong hitting Dominician brings up the rear as Jose Bautista brings some Latin hip-hop into the mix with this jam here. Otherwise known as Joey Bats to his fans, Jose consistently puts up sky high numbers in the home run department and has been a fan favorite with his good looks and charisma doing wonders for the city of Toronto.

Mark Buehrle: Zac Brown Band - The Wind

The once perfect game throwing Buehrle has some Southern fried country to go along with his mound entrance music. The strong throwing starter who is also an avid dog lover, has become Mr. Dependable with his long outings and strong work ethic that has served him well in the past when he pitched for the White Sox.

RA Dickey: Star Wars Soundtrack - Imperial March

The former Met has the Imperial March theme from the Star Wars movie as his entrance music. One of the very few knuckleballers remaining in the game, Dickey sports a strong command of the extremely difficult pitch that constantly gives batters headaches and fits when up at the plate, and leaves them shaking their heads in disgust soon after.

The Blue Jays are still seeking their first playoff appearance since their back-to-back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993, and have been so close but oh so far with regard to making it to the postseason. The Blue Jays need a couple more pieces to put in place, and then they'll be right there in the conversation in their quest for October.
