'''Russ Moore Adams'''  (born John McDonald taking the shortstop role previously occupied by Hill. He was optioned back to Syracuse on July 30 so that he could receive more playing time.

Adams played college ball at the batted .370 with 45 steals, led to the Toronto Blue Jays drafting him in the 1st round (14th overall) in the 2002 amateur entry draft. In hindsight, many Jays fans are angered that Adams was selected ahead of Scott Kazmir, Nick Swisher, Cole Hamels, Jeff Francouer, Matt Cain, and Canadian Joey Votto. 

Adams was brought up to the major league club late in the 2004 season and had his official rookie season in 2005. He was used primarily in the lead-off position in the lineup. Adams finished the 2005 season with a .256 batting average, .325 OBP, 27 Doubles, 5 Triples, 8 Home Runs, and 11 Stolen Bases. Adams finished seventh in the AL in Sacrifice Flies and tenth in the American League in At Bats per Strikeout. Adams was named to the Topps Major League Rookie All-Star Team along with teammate Gustavo Chacín <ref>[http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20051117&content_id=1269528&vkey=news_tor&fext=.jsp&c_id=tor The Official Site of The Toronto Blue Jays: News: Two Jays honored by Topps<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.

'''ラス・アダムズ'''（'''Russ Adams''' 1980年8月30日 - ）は、メジャーリーグベースボールのトロント・ブルージェイズ所属、右投左打の遊撃手。アメリカ合衆国のノースカロライナ州出身。

遊撃手以外に、二塁手・三塁手でのプレー経験がある。

2002年に、ドラフト1巡目（全米14位）でブルージェイズから指名を受け、プロ入り。入団2年目の2003年9月3日には、早くもメジャーデビューを果たした。デビューイヤーに残した成績は、わずか22試合の出場だったが、打率.306、本塁打4本、打点10点という数字を残した。翌2004年は開幕からショートのレギュラーとして起用され、打撃面ではまずまずの数字を残した。しかし、守備があまりにもお粗末で翌年のレギュラーが危ぶまれた。2006年は、実際に打撃・守備両面でスランプに陥り、結局はレギュラーの座を奪われた。レギュラー奪取をかけた2007年だったが、わずか27試合の出場に終わった。
