Scott Rolen to the DL

The Jays have put Scott Rolen on the DL, guess his shoulder isn't getting better. The real question is will a couple of weeks off improve it. It sounds like they are going to bring up Mench to full his roster spot, so we'll get to see all our middle infielders every game, should really improve our offense. I was kind of hoping for Scott Campbell, but I wouldn't do a lot for our offense either. Watching Scoot at third every day likely will drive me to drink.

We aren't the only team adding to the DL, Tim Wakefield is down with 'tightness in his right shoulder' and the Rays put Carl Crawford on the DL with a subluxation of his right middle finger. If you want to know what that means:

Crawford's injury is located at the base of the middle finger of his right hand at the joint connecting the finger to the hand. The tendon used to straighten the fingers has come out of its groove, which causes the finger to lock into position when he bends his finger downward. He must push the tendon back into place to again straighten his finger.

He will miss 6 to 8 weeks unless he needs surgery then he's done for the season. Rocco Baldelli has been activated from the DL to take his spot.

And everyone's favorite former Jay, Orlando Hudson, is finished for at least the season with a dislocated wrist. He had surgery to put the bone back in place yesterday and later he'll need more surgery to repair damaged ligaments.

I would be surprised

if we saw much of Rolen for the rest of the season. The Jays will have him around for another 2 seasons, and they don’t have anyone on their way up to take his place anyway, so they will be cautious with him I would think. Just another huge question mark going into next season. It’s too bad that we don’t really have anyone to bring up to get their shot, though I would be up for trying Campbell at 2nd and using an Inglett/Scoot platoon at 3rd base, with Mac everyday at SS. At least that would be somewhat productive, rather than just giving extra at-bats to bench players.

That would be my wish.

Seems like a right lack of fore site to have a often injurned thrid baseman and no one at all that could really step into his shoes, but then, I guess, that’s why we talk about firing JP every third post…..

Not sure where to put this, but the Jays just reactivated Shannon Stewart from the DL…and then released him.
