Roster Moves: Aaron Hill Activated and Brett Cecil Recalled for Friday.

by Tom Dakers on Apr 21, 2010 5:17 PM EDT in Toronto Blue Jays News

After the game there were a handful of roster moves. Aaron Hill comes off the DL effective Friday. Also Brett Cecil will be recalled Friday to start that night's game. To make room Edwin Encarnacion and Brian Tallet are both going on the 15-day DL both retroactive to their last start. Edwin's last game was the 14th and Tallet played last on the 17th. So at the end of the month, we'll likely have some interesting decisions to make.

Tallet has "tightness in his forearm" and Encarnacion has a sore shoulder.

I'm looking forward to seeing Cecil, he was throwing very well at the end of spring and was 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in Vegas.

Great news

We’ll certainly need Hill in Tampa.

I’d like to send Tallet back the pen and send Merkin Valdez back to AAA.

i'll do this move

Can't send Valdez down

without exposing him to waivers. I’m not sure it would be that big a loss, but Accardo has an option left.

Valdez

I dont think has anymore options left so he would have to go through waivers. Not that it matters if he is picked up by someone since he isnt helping us. Correct me if i am wrong.

Tightness in forearm?

Isn’t that the first indication that Tommy John surgery might be on the horizon? I remember they said the same about Litsch and Marcum prior to their Tommy Johns.

by bleh on Apr 21, 2010 6:03 PM EDT reply actions

did he already had Tommy John surgery?

by elpikiman on Apr 21, 2010 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions

Tightness to Tommy John? Whoa.

I think I will wait until I hear Dr.James Andrews before I start thinking Tommy John. Otherwise I will think its a bit of stiffness that the Jays are taking advantage of to call up Cecil.

I think its the baseball gods telling Cito that Tallet shouldnt be in the starting rotation.

I wish Baseball Gods were listening to us fans

by elpikiman on Apr 21, 2010 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions

They always listen...

Normally the answer is no.

bleh is dead right about Litsch and Marcum

Well yes I didn’t say he was wrong about Marcum and Litsch but its such a vague description until I hear someone is off to the specialist I won’t jump to any conclusions.

Didn’t Kelvim Escobar have “forearm tightness” for like 3 seasons in Toronto? I think his forearm started to go numb at times too.

by jayjay on Apr 21, 2010 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions

I agree no need to rush to any conclusions

I’m just saying that’s how it started with Litsch and Marcum, and lots of others. There was actually an article a few years ago about the mysterious and ominous “forearm tightness.” But of course sometimes a forearm tightness is just a forearm tightness

not usually after a 110 innings jump

by Andy Mc on Apr 21, 2010 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions

a 110 inning jump and forearm pain together do not bode well. it isn't that far a leap of logic at all.

by Andy Mc on Apr 21, 2010 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions

not to make light of the situation, but

so much for all those innings he was supposed to eat

I wouldn't be surprised if Cecil pitched well and stuck in the rotation.

And I’m not disappointed in Encarnacion going to DL for now. I want to see more of Lewis in LF and Bautista at 3B. Excited to see Hill coming back. I think he’s gonna go on a tear.

Tough series coming up though. It’d be great if the Jays won the series, but realistically if they can win one of the games against TB on the road (and with Garza in the opener), it’s almost a small victory.

On another note, Doc's game is live on Peachtree TV tonight.

Woot!

he seems to have fallen behind in the count a bunch last couple of innings

Glad to see Aaron Hill back after all i have his Jersey…lol…we need to harness Tampa Bay they are tough..but with Hill back and Wells swinging the bat…i feel we can do it..btw any Bluejay Fans in San Diego?

I hate to say, but does anyone think the Hill and Cecil swap for EE ant Tallet makes the team better?

by Joey P on Apr 21, 2010 10:47 PM EDT reply actions

Hill alone makes the Jays better. Cecil is going to get thrown right into the fire. If he pitches well, he could be here for awhile. Its a big opportunity for him. If he doesn’t pitch well, it could very well set him back, at least in the Jays brass’ eyes.
