Any chance that when he is back they start him for 3-5 innings depending on pitch count and have Hutch come in for him. 2 Starters for 1 game. Not needing to have a deep pitching performance from either.
I understand...that why I said in a week or so...that would give him almost 2 weeks as a Blue Jay. If he still isn't hitting, it would hurt to call up Pompey to give him a little competition.
Might be a tad exaggerating, but honestly some posters have gone wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to far the last few months. We should all be able to get along. We all love the Blue Jays!!! (Well most of us).
There are a few on this board who believe they own it and believe they are untouchable. What's funny is...if this was a normally moderated board most of them would be permanently banned.
Love having a real OF in left.
Exactly...they are not the same. It would be better to go with Price or Cueto if the owners are willing to spend/throw some money away in later years to win now.
Aren't they 3 and 4 yrs younger than Shields. So, under normal progression of careers the bad part of a 7 yr contract would be after 5 yrs. Better team value than throwing 20 million at a sharply declining 36 yr old in 3 yrs
