Jays are lucky they picked up Scutaro, he seems to be producing a fair amount of the RBI's. Not to mention he has played allot of position this year (3rd, SS, 2nd, 1st, LF).
Will be interesting if JP can trade off a few players for prospects... at the July 31st trade dead-line... However I bet JP makes no trades, and comments " I really believe this club can turn around this season".....  |
what do you expect from a 40 year old? And he's cheap. Yes, his batting average is down a little, but they're also playing him way too much. He succeeded last year because he had a lot of rest on the bench. Pretty embarassing that he's tied with Wells for the team lead with a pathetic 9 home runs.
the rest of your post I agree with wholeheartedly.
