The unofficial start of spring is underway as pitchers and catchers have reported to Dunedin, Fla. for the start of Blue Jays spring training.  Position players are due in by Saturday with the first full squad work out set for Sunday.
 
While the Blue Jays morphed themselves into contenders with several trades and free agent signings during the off-season, there are ample former Fisher Cats who will have an impact on this season.  There are also several non-40-man roster Fisher Cats who are with the big club for the start of the spring.
