Brandon League plus a prospect to Seattle. In return we get Brandon Morrow. As long as he can stay healthy it's a great deal for us. League has failed to live up to his potential here in Toronto. Yes he can hurl a wicked fastball, but he's struggled with control and consistency and he can't pitch for more than one inning a game. If you bring him back for a second then be prepared to see a few long balls.

Our line-up is looking a bit weak in right field and at 3B but stronger in pitching. 3B is becoming a worry and we will have to move Youk over and play Kotchman.

C: Martinez, Varitek
1B: Youkilis/Martinez/Kotchman
2B: Pedroia
3B: Lowell/Youk/Lowrie
SS: Scutaro/Lowrie
CF: Ellsbury/Reddick/Cameron
RF: Cameron/Reddick
LF: Drew/Reddick

P: Beckett, Lackey, Lester, Dice-K, Buchholz, Wakefield

Roy Halliday & his wife took out a full page ad in the Toronro Sun today to thank the Blue Jays organisation, the Jays fans and the City of Toronto. The man is all class.

Still a very young team but the farm system is brilliant.

Bluejays reliever [url=http://www.dirkhayhurst.com/Dirkhayhurst.com/Welcome%21.htmlDirk Hayhurst[/url called me last night to thank me for donating to his relief fund for Haiti. We had a nice little chat (about 10 mins). He's a thoroughly nice guy, very interesting and a little off the wall. If you're at all interested in baseball, you should read his soon to be released book, The Bullpen Gospels.

So I guess my curse strikes again. Dirk Hayhurst to have exploratory shoulder surgery just weeks after talking to me. I really need to stay away from my own teams players.

Marcus Thames and Randy Winn signed to fill voids in the outfield. That's us more or less done recruitment wise. We still may pick up a middle infielder though.
