Extra Base Hit: Running the Bases with Blue Jays P Casey Janssen

Extra Base Hit had a chance to ask Blue Jays P Casey Janssen a few questions, but first a little history.  Janssen was drafted in the 4th round by the Blue Jays in 2004 & made his major league debut on April 27th, 2006 vs Baltimore.  His first win was against the Angels on May 7th, 2006 when he defeated the team he grew up watching 3-1.  After the trade of Brandon League to the Mariners, the Blue Jays will look at Janssen in Spring Training as a guy who could take over League's old role and be the guy in the 6th or 7th inning to get a few outs.  Janssen, once thought of as a starter, is 10-17, 4.27 ERA in his career making 22 starts in the 110 career games played.  In 2007, his best season to date, Janssen went 2-3 with 6 saves in 70 games posting an outstanding 2.35 ERA.
