Bautista just got beaned in the head. I have it on mute since I'm in class, so hopefully he's alright.

Unless the plan is to flip Jackson in another deal, don't really understand this one. Teahen has been awful since leaving KC and Jackson really only has one above average season on his resume and, like Frasor, is a free agent at end of the season (he's also a Type B, but, in his case, just barely). Not that I expect a ton in return for Frasor, but, I would have thought AA would have been looking for a quality prospect or two instead of an ordinary starter and a bench player.

Doubt it, as not only would the pick they Jays would receive for Jackson come after the pick they would receive for Frasor, Jackson is very much a borderline Type B guy right now and at serious risk of dropping below the threshold, leaving the Jays with no pick. Teahen for a meh prospect on its own wouldn't be a terrible move, if it wasn't for the fact that he's set to earn $5.5M next season - if they Jays were to take on that contract, there'd have to be some serious incentive, and, to me, adding Jackson to a non-contending roster doesn't do that. Neither does adding Jackson to move another starter - the Jays have plenty of guys in the minors capable of handling the job for a couple months were that to happen, and it wouldn't require taking on a bad contract and downgrading a draft pick. Unless Jackson is being flipped, this one doesn't make sense.
Floyd said:Yeah, that would make the most sense I think.

Rumour is Jackson and a bullpen arm as the centrepieces for Rasmus, if the ChiSox deal goes through.
Floyd said:Rasmus is a great player... Great bridge until Gose is ready and possibly beyond if Gose never does make it for some reason.

I'd hesitate to call him a great player, because he's only in his 3rd year and really has only had one above average season so far, but, Rasmus' bat has great potential. He needs some work defensively, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's moved to a corner outfield position in the future.
