If you weren't watching the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011, it would be next to impossible to explain what it was like for Brett Lawrie to pop up overnight and become one of the biggest names in the whole city. This month we're revisiting the Brett Lawrie Experience, culminating in his first game-winning home run against the Boston Red Sox. In this episode, we examine the year before the Lawrie trade, where JP Arencibia and Brandon Morrow give us a glimpse of what we thought the future core would be, and the Blue Jays trade one of their strong starting pitchers for a Canadian human can of Red Bull.
