Blue Jays manager John Farrell told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca that the Blue Jays will consider possible changes before opening their series against the Cardinals (Twitter link). “We need a spark, that’s clear,” Farrell said. “How we look to do that we’ll examine in this room first.” The Braves just swept the 36-39 Jays out of Atlanta.

I don't expect anything major. Maybe a shuffling of the lineup.

Bring up Cooper and Thames and maybe Snider? Re-insert Cecil into the rotation. Live a little Farrell!

No point of bringing Cooper, Thames and Snider all at once. One of them would get totally shafted on playing time.

The fact that it was farrell and not AA saying this makes me believe that it's nothing big; maybe batting order shuffle. Not getting my hopes up.

Nix will be bumped up to 3rd to benefit from the protection of Bautista and Lind behind him. Look what's it done for Patterson!

More squeeze bunting and Molina takes over 3rd base. Butterfield gets a chair.
