HBT: Jays tell Lind to stop badmouthing old manager

We?ve had a number of instances of players saying bad things about old managers or teammates lately. The last one was the Blue Jays? Adam Lind, who over the weekend blamed ex-Jays manager John Farrell for sending him mixed signals about hitting last year:

?You guys (the media) were around last year,? Lind said Saturday at spring training. ?The manager telling you one thing was a problem, it was tough. He was from Boston where they were selective (on hitting pitches) but coming up through this organization we were taught to be aggressive, so sometimes you get confused who you want to please.?

I?m sure this had nothing to do whatsoever with Farrell calling out Lind for being out of shape last year and sending him to Las Vegas for a while. Nope.

Anyway, Jays? GM Alex?Anthopoulos heard these comments and said that, if there was a problem, it was Lind?s fault:

?He has been in the league long enough now and it?s up to him to say I?m a little confused, I need a little help and what not ??I always try to stress, if you?re confused, if you?re not sure, it?s on you to say something. We can?t do anything to help you if you don?t express how you?re feeling.?

Always a good rule to not air your?grievances publicly.
