| April 19, 2008 It wasn't too long ago when the fantasy owner could look at Pittsburgh's Jason Bay and see a world of potential, but knee injuries in recent seasons have all but ended those hopes, stealing just four bases last season and falling well short of offensive expectation. However, it now appears Bay is fully healthy and back on track to excel in 2008, according to MLB.com. Bay stole his second base of the season in the Pirates' 2-3 loss to the Cubs on Friday night and tells reporters he's going to put his full effort into improving those numbers throughout the season. "I don't think I can lead the league in stolen bases, but I think I can get an extra base here or there," said Bay in speaking to reporters on Saturday morning. "I'm not going to steal 50, but I think I can steal 15 or 20." |

| April 10, 2008 Jason Bay entered Wednesday's game hitting .182, with only one extra base hit in 22 at-bats. Bay had zero RBI and had yet to jog around the bases. Through the first seven innings of Wednesday's loss to the Cubs, with Ryan Dempster on the mound, Bay's slump continued. However, once the former Cubs closer departed, Bay found his stroke. The Pirate outfielder hit the game tying home run in the bottom of the ninth off Chicago closer Kerry Wood and finished the evening 3-for-5 with two runs scored and one RBI. Fantasy owners that believed they stole Bay in the middle rounds of mixed formats, would like some return, any return on their investment. Tonight was a good start to what many would like to think is a bounce back campaign. |
| April 7, 2008 The Pirates benched Jason Bay on Sunday as part of a plan to rest his right knee, not because of his slow start at the plate. "It's going to look like I'm doing this because of how things have gone for him," manager John Russell explains to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "That's not the case." Bay was seen with ice around his surgically repaired knee, and it sounds like he could take a seat on a regular basis throughout the season. |
| April 6, 2008 Jason Bay will not start on Sunday against the Marlins, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He has been struggling at the plate as he only registered three hits over 18 at-bats, with seven strikeouts, and hopefully he will get on track when he returns. |
| April 4, 2008 Jason Bay is having no trouble getting on base, although he isn't helping fantasy owners much. He has reached first in seven of his last eight plate appearances thanks to a pair of singles and five walks. Bay owns a .500 OBP, but he is hitting .200 and has yet to manage an extra-base hit. The patience is nice, but fantasy owners want the pop. |
| March 20, 2008 Jason Bay continues to struggle as he struck out twice over four at-bats against the Yankees on Wednesday. His spring average sits at a mere .231, with nine strikeouts over 39 at-bats. |
| March 3, 2008 Jason Bay was limited to one hit in Sunday's loss to the Rays, but the center fielder's average is at .400 on the spring and he looks comfortable in all phases of his game. Bay didn't play in Monday's loss to the Phillies. The early round fantasy disappointment of a year ago, hit but .247 with 21 HR and four stolen bases. Those numbers followed a .286, 34 home run campaign. A return to his 2006 numbers makes the Pirate a draft day steal this March -- as he is leaving the draft boards in the middle-rounds of traditional formats. |
| February 15, 2008 Jason Bay could report to spring training as soon as this weekend, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Position players don't have to report until next Tuesday, but Bay has spent the offseason strengthening his right knee, and rules allow injured players to report early. The outfielder will be trying to rebound from a disappointing 2007 campaign. |
| February 14, 2008 Padres GM Kevin Towers said he will continue to pursue a trade for a right-handed hitting outfielder, and Jason Bay is one guys that's still on his radar, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Bay's teammate and former Padre Xavier Nady is also an option, as is Cub Matt Murton. |
