In Mondays Five Thoughts, TSNs Jack Armstrong discusses the Raptors road game in Miami and takes a closer look at the final four teams remaining in the NCAA Tournament. 1. RAPTORS @ HEAT: Im flying to Miami to work Mondays Raptors-Heat game on TSN. Raps havent won in Florida since 2008. Theyve been quite competitive in all three3 games this season. There comes a point where you say Its time. Is that Monday tonight? The Bulls, Nets and Wizards have all beaten them this year. It would be a huge confidence boost from a Conference perspective heading to the second season in a few weeks. Its a chance to clinch winning road record for first time in franchise history. No better team to do it against than the mighty Heat. 2. AARON HARRISON (Kentucky): Makes four three-balls on Sunday vs. Michigan late and the game-winner was amazing. He has really matured down the stretch and I love his poise and obviously his shot making ability. A major talent. 3. FRANK KAMINSKY (Wisconsin): He was 28 and 11 vs Arizona on Saturday. He makes three 3s and gets seven offensive boards. Dont be fooled. He might look a little awkward but hes very skilled and can hurt you inside and out. Tough cover. Hes been huge for them. Theyre not in the Final Four without him. 4. SCOTTIE WILBEKIN (Florida): Cool customer; always steadying the ship. He sets the tone on both sides of the ball for Billy Donovan. Changes speeds beautifully and is a very good shooter. Excellent instincts at the end of the shot clock. Big time competitor. 5. SHABAZ NAPIER (U CONN): Clutch, a big time handle and a terrific screen and roll guy. He has major range. He is the heart and soul of the Huskies and has the Kemba Walker vibe in his game. He finishes well at the rim. High energy performer and is a winner with next level ability. He will make an NBA GM look really smart. Justin Simmons Jersey .

Toronto Star baseball columnist and TSN contributor Richard Griffin joins me for a half-hour of talk on manager John Gibbons strategy when it comes to his starting pitching and struggling bullpen, whether Brett Lawrie will see increased action at second base and Jose Bautistas great start to the season. Give it a listen here. GIBBONS LIKES HIS OFFENCE The Blue Jays entered Thursdays action with 166 runs scored in 34 games. Thats an average of almost 4.9 runs per game, good for fourth in the majors. Manager John Gibbons is in his seventh season, over two tenures skipping the Blue Jays. He believes this is the strongest offence hes had. "I would think this is probably the top," said Gibbons. "My last go around here we were really strong in the pitching department. We had some good offences but I dont think it equaled what we have here now. You need that in the American League. You need to be able to slug it out." Toronto boasts the league leader in on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) and walks. Hes Jose Bautista. Bautista and Colby Rasmus, with nine home runs each, are amongst the league leaders. Melky Cabreras 48 hits are the most in the sport this season. As a team, the Blue Jays rank second in home runs (44); second in slugging percentage (.432) and third in on-base plus slugging percentage (.761). ENCARNACION DISCUSSES FRANCISCO General manager Alex Anthopoulos has credited Edwin Encarnacion with helping to lure Juan Francisco to the Blue Jays. "Ive known Juan from a long time ago, he was playing with me in Cincinnati," said Encarnacion. "When he was young, I was older in here and hes one of my best friends. He had a couple of more (options) to go so I called him and asked him to come here because they can give him the opportunity to play here at this level.dddddddddddd" Francisco, 26, hit 18 home runs last season while playing with the Braves and Brewers but was cut by Milwaukee late in spring training. He signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on April 2 and began the year at Triple-A Buffalo. His contract was selected on April 20 to replace Adam Lind, who went on the disabled list with a back injury. Aside from the opportunity the Blue Jays could afford him, Encarnacion was pressed Francisco to come to Toronto out of fear he would sign with another American League East team. The division, specifically the ballparks in the division, are friendly to power-hitting left-handed bats. "Thats why I dont want him to go to another team, like Tampa or another team," said Encarnacion. SANTOS STARTING FROM SCRATCH Sergio Santos pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Wednesdays 10-0 win over the Phillies. Thanks to the big lead it was a pressure-free inning. After two-straight outings featuring blown saves and three on the season, Santos is in the process of rebuilding his confidence. "It was nice to execute on the things that I wanted to do as far as locating my fastball, moving it in and out," said Santos. "It was nice. Its a nice first step, hopefully in the right direction." His stuff is good. Santos has struck out 18 hitters in 10 1/3 innings. The problem is hes walked nine and of the 12 hits hes allowed, three have been home runs. Santos expects more of himself. "Hopefully I can build off what happened (Wednesday) night and never look back again," he said. LAWRIE UPDATE Brett Lawrie took part in batting practice and fielded ground balls before Thursdays game. He left the fourth inning of Monday nights game in Philadelphia with lingering tightness in his right hamstring. Fridays game against the Angels may be more hopeful than reality. Lawries more likely to return on the weekend.
