Michael Saunders (knee) left a rehab game with High-A Dunedin on Sunday with a tight hamstring.

The Blue Jays are calling his removal precautionary, but it's not clear when he'll return to game action. Saunders was hoping to be activated from the disabled list later this week, but that could be in jeopardy now.

Just make sure he's healthy when he comes back. The last thing I want to see happen is rush him back before he's ready.

lrn2programming. != is does not equal.

 

He's a programmer, he's a rock star, he's a comic book antihero, ladies and gentlemen he's your friendly neighborhood Deadpool.

Probably never even play for the Blue Jays!

 

 

Deadpool? You never know who he might play for. I plan to hire his band for my wake.

 

PS. this is now a binding contract...good luck collecting your pay.

Saunders' hammy is just showing respect to Pillar. GOAT

 

I've always been a big Pillar guy. He's still not best utilized as an everyday player, not to mention when Bautista breaks his hand/leg/ankle next week the Jays will badly need Saunders.

Pillar has failed to hit MLB pitching at an average level (in 2 chances). This is his 3rd chances and even though its a ridiculously small sample size he is again not meeting that production level.

 

He is good defensively and may be able to hit lefties and be a platoon guy. But aside from his minor league stats I haven't seen anything to suggest he can be an every day guy at the MLB level.

 

It is worth noting that he is the only every day player on the team that has not yet earned a walk yet this season. That was a huge issue for him the last 2 seasons in the bigs as well.

To be fair, I'm not THAT friendly...

Yeah, I'm a musician man, I'm totally used to not getting paid.

 

Edit: I'm sure playing your wake will give me plenty of ExposureDollars, which is apparently a currency that exists in the mind of venue owners and can probably be redeemed for goods and services in Literalynowheresylvania.

He looks just fine to me right now. He's also having some bad luck from BAPIP which leads me to believe he will be ok.

Would be nice to have happ for the fifth starter right about now.

 

Would be nice to have Stroman in the rotation. Happ was redundant at the time, and we needed a LF. Saunders will be very good.

 

Between Saunders/Pillar/Pompey and Bautista, we have a very good outfield.

SP depth is never redundant, we were thin in pitching before Stroman went down. Either way I don't hate the trade, but we need pitching.

I still think it was crazy trading Happ for Saunders.

 

No Happ for Saunders was a win. Lind for Estrada was a loss which no one seems to talk about.
