As expected Brett Lawrie will start the year in AAA. Just watched Jays Connected where John Farrell Mentioned that his lack of AAA experience, playing a hitherto new position and everyday playing time were key factors in the decision to send him down; for those upstairs, the fact that it will help them with arbitration and contractually in the future. I understand the fact that its a new position and I like that idea that they want him playing everyday, for at the major league level he wouldn't get the chance to play everyday. I expect we will see him in June, or as soon as an injury occurs; barring any setback from Lawrie. It makes sense and will hopefully help his development but you can't help but love his play so far and I, like most Jays fans, wish we could see him on opening day in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform.
Good luck Lawrie, hope to see you soon.
