Jays Roster Discussion

Stro-bro has been pitching very well
Sanshoe is trying, finger and all
Thornton has been very good in my estimation
Borucki was very good, lets hope he is back soon.

That front 4 is not all that bad, and I liked what I saw in Richards last game, seems very composed.

Let's hope we can start to string together some wins.

Is he a legitimate prospect or is this just a publicity stunt?  Either way, classy move by the Blue Jays?

I wouldn't call it a publicity stunt, as, outside those deep in the baseball world, it's not going to really get noticed. It is more of an goodwill type move than one with made without an intent on officially bringing him into the fold.

Finally the new brass does something classy, lets hope they are learning from their myriad of mistakes

Hes the one pitcher I don't want to trade, he understands he plays not just for Toronto but Canada and that means something to him.  Who else can pitch???? Not like we have a plethora of arms waiting in the wings.
