Toronto Blue Jays at Detroit Tigers, Aug 11, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
After looking great against Oakland and terrible against Cleveland, the Jays hope for better luck in Motown this week. Shaun Marcum faces off against Justin Verlander in the first game of the series, with Marcum hoping to build on a great performance last time out (7 innings, took a no-hitter into the 6th, 1 run on a Bobby Crosby solo shot, 2 walks, and 7 Ks). Of course, Oakland's offense doesn't exactly stack up to Detroit's, so we'll see how it goes.
Maybe you heard about Gary Sheffield's whinging recently. Apparently Sheffield told the Boston Globe that he didn't like DH-ing because it makes it hard to be a team leader. Another thing that makes it tough - being a surly a-hole and complaining about your role on the team to an out-of-town newspaper for no other reason than it is a huge media market, and making $14 million while OPSing below .700. Let me just say that I am not a fan of Sheff's.
I am, however, a big Vernon Wells fan, and I am very happy to see him out there in CF again for the first time in too long. Stay healthy and play well, Vern!
My final thought - for how long can we keep hitting Stairs in the middle of the lineup? What did Lyle do to earn hitting 8th while Stairs is producing less but batting 5th? Do we really need to have Scoot batting 2nd?
Out to run, be back for the game. Let's go Jays!!!!

seriously though
your chance at getting an all-star quality SS on the free-agent market is pretty slim, particularly one who won’t need to sign for too many years. and I’m so tired of the Jays SS woes

I've suggested that in the past
but I think the Jays have decided against it. Who knows if Hill will even be back?

by Tom Dakers on Aug 11, 2008 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
if we could trade Rolen
I’d try using Campbell at 2nd and Hill at 3rd with a little help from Inglett. Hill played well at 3rd before and the Jays would save a lot of money which they could use on a SS or pitcher

and I think a healthy Hill and Inglett
might be able to about equal Rolen’s production, though maybe Rolen will be stronger next season.

you're likely right
we definitely couldn’t get anything much for him. but I bet we could get a team to take him on. There are a lot of bad NL teams that need a 3rd baseman

if we had a 3B close to ready in the minors I wouldn't mind having him.....
but since we don’t, is tough paying him that much. I would doubt he’ll ever get to 15 home runs again
by Tom Dakers on Aug 11, 2008 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
we gave up Glaus for him
and his stock shouldn’t be any lower now than it was when we made the trade, right? he had a better year this year and was healthier than last season, and now he’s owed less money

for the widgets, I just go into the manage layout and you can literally drag the widgets around
and hit preview to see how it looks. when you’re happy with the new layout, save changes. To add, there is a little menu at the very bottom of the layout screen, where you can add. if you do custom, you can make your own
