TORONTO - A subjective look at the Toronto Blue Jays this season in report card format (with name and grade):

OUTFIELDERS

Jose Bautista, A-plus. Talk about earning your contract. Bautista signed a lucrative long-term deal in the off-season and delivered with an MVP-calibre campaign. Another huge year at the plate.

------

Eric Thames, B-minus. Was given a chance this year and took advantage, although he's a work in progress in the outfield. Great attitude with some pop at the plate.

------

Colby Rasmus, D. Slow to find his groove with Blue Jays. Glimpses of potential appear from time to time. Solid in outfield but bat has been very quiet. Perhaps better to judge after a full season with Toronto.

------

Rajai Davis, C-minus. Outstanding speed with ability to be a game-changer. Has little power though and injuries haven't helped.

INFIELDERS

Adam Lind, B. Made nice transition to first base although bat has run hot and cold this season. Power numbers are impressive but batting average still low.

------

Brett Lawrie, B-plus. Canadian rookie has loads of energy and loads of talent. Cooled off after hot start. Looks ready for prime time.

------

Kelly Johnson, C. Steady effort since joining club. Hasn't blown anyone away but not a disappointment either.

------

Yunel Escobar, B. Settled in nicely over first full season with Jays. Decent numbers and solid range at shortstop.

------

Edwin Encarnacion, C-plus. Suspect on defence but bat came around after all-star break. Ideal for designated hitter role.

------

Mike McCoy, C-plus. Decent job as utilityman. Hitting a little spotty but has good speed and range.

CATCHERS

J.P. Arencibia, B-plus. Made big strides behind the plate and posted some impressive numbers for a rookie. Recorded most home runs by a catcher in team history, now needs to work on batting average.

------

Jose Molina, C-plus. Effective in part-time role.

PITCHERS

Ricky Romero, A. Proved he was worthy of ace designation. Every rotation needs a horse and Romero is it.

------

Carlos Villanueva, B. Decent reliever who filled in admirably while in starting rotation.

------

Jon Rauch, D. Was unreliable throughout the season with high earned-run average and penchant for allowing the big hit.

------

Luis Perez, C. Soaked up some innings but largely a learning year. Comfortable starting or coming out of bullpen.

------

Brandon Morrow, C-minus. Electric stuff with inconsistent results. Great strikeout man. Could be solid No. 2 man if consistency returns.

------

Jesse Litsch, C. Better suited to bullpen role. Effective as reliever after tepid results in rotation.

------

Casey Janssen, B-plus. One of Farrell's go-to guys in the bullpen. Good numbers this season.

------

Frank Francisco, C-plus. Play improved in second half after slow start. Seemed to get results when there wasn't competition for closer's role.

------

Kyle Drabek, D. Loads of potential but still quite green and numbers show it. May blossom with more experience.

------

Brett Cecil, D. Big disappointment. Had velocity issues early on and never seemed to fully regain confidence.

------

Shawn Camp, C. Veteran arm soaks up innings. Numbers are average but reliable out of bullpen.

------

Henderson Alvarez, B. Impressed in handful of starts late in season. Will get a good look next year.

------

Limited Duty: Adam Loewen, David Cooper, Chad Beck, Joel Carreno, Danny Farquhar, Rommie Lewis, Dustin McGowan, Chris Woodward, Brad Mills, Dewayne Wise, Travis Snider, Mark Teahen, Jesse Carlson.

MANAGEMENT

John Farrell, B. Rookie skipper did a decent job considering there were several roster changes and high number of young players. Hovering near .500 mark wasn't bad for first year, more will be expected in 2012.

Alex Anthopoulos, B-plus. Cleared out some bad contracts, made some good deals and continues to tinker with roster. Deep farm system and young core in place at major-league level. Fans are pining for a big-name addition in the off-season and meaningful baseball in September.
