Ramon Santiago broken collarbone

@ShiDavidi: #BlueJays say INF Ramon Santiago suffered broken collarbone. Will be evaluated Mon to determine recovery timetable. In camp on minor-lg deal

I think Maicer was getting the starting gig anyway, Goins/Kawa on the bench, Travis to AAA?

Sucks for him, but likely has a negligible impact on ML team. Lose a bit of depth maybe.

Wow......... Crazy, i like his game.

Santiago was arguably the best backup SS in the fold.

Too bad he was having a good spring.

Broken collarbone is a 6-8 week recovery so not a major loss. He should still be able to contribute early in the season if needed.

Tolleson's in the mix depending on how they want to handle the fact that he's out of options.

True, he slipped my mind at the time of the post. I honestly have no idea who they will choose for the Utility IF. A part of me wants it to be Kawa because he's not a complete plug at the plate, but I know we will be giving up considerable defence if he's in there instead of Goins. Can Tolleson even play SS? Without looking it up I can't remember him ever playing an inning there in a Blue Jays uni.

 

Edit: I just looked it up, I see he played 5 innings at SS last season. Is Tolleson' defence passable there if Reyes needs a day off? If not I don't see how he would be the utility infielder we need. Having Tolleson + Goins/Kawa on the bench doesn't seem optimal.

6-8 you sure? A friend broke a collar bone once and he was in recovery for several months. Seems it would be worse if it was his throwing arm too..

We need an updated excel doc to keep up with the injury reports, good grief.
