Casey Jansen - Quality Control

Blue Jay fans should be able to breathe a little easier these days with the return of closer Casey Jansen. Last night Jansen locked down the Jays 6-4 win over the Boston Red Sox with a very boring ninth inning, something Jays fans haven't seen as of late. Jansen didn't have good stuff last night as his breaking ball wasn't sharp and his cutter was flying out of the zone. However what he did have was a very controled and well placed fastball, just ask Johnny Gomes, who struck out looking on a fastball that was right at the knees. 

With a pen that has been absolutely terrible at times this year, Jansen could be the key to keeping it together. There is no doubt that this team will score a ton of runs this year, it's gonna be how they keep the other guys from scoring that will dictate whether or not this team can end a 20 year playoff drought.
