The way the Blue Jays performed under Cito Gaston this past season was enough to earn the manager some recognition in the balloting for the American League Manager of the Year Award.
It's been a return to normalcy this offseason for Blue Jays second baseman Aaron Hill. The dizzy spells, headaches and sleepless nights that plagued him throughout this past season -- the results of post-concussion syndrome -- have disappeared.
