Ughh, I was hoping they'd use a different photo from the cover vote one. I'd rather see him on the cover with the Pirates home jersey not the alternate, even if it is white. Just give the cover a darker background.
As a former Expos and now by default Jays fan, Lawrie does not deverve the Canadian cover yet IMO. He first needs to grow up a bit and was annoying to watch last year at times.
So Bautista will be on cover for 2nd straight year. Wonder what they mean by vote for fave cover? I'm guessing it'll be 3 diff stances for Bautista, one in each jersey or something?
Did Scea even consider asking a real Canadian? Joey Votto, Justin Morneau are a couple that come to mind.
I think they are geared more towards the Canadian "team" affiliation. The Canadian cover with a Cincinnati Reds or Minnesota Twins jersey on it would be... weird. Unless they put a picture of them in their Canadian WBC jersey, but then again this is an MLB game.

That's why Lawrie would've been the perfect choice, a Canadian that plays for the only Canadian team
Lawrie is too much of a hothead and hasn't really proven himself yet. He angered a lot of Blue Jays fans last year with his no-sense running style.
I'm fine with Joey Bats on the cover again.
With addition all these vets like Reyes,Izturis,Buehrle,Dickey on the team, it'll add alot to the younger guys like Lawrie not just on field, but off as well.
For the second year in a row, the Canadian cover will be graced by Jose Batista. OK he's a great player, but don't you think it's a bit redundant? I would have prefered Joey Votto, a true Canadian and an all-star player even though he plays for an American team. At least it's not going to be Brett Lawrie. Than God for that!
