I personally thing Downs has the stuff to be an excellent pitcher. Perhaps his injury did take a toll on him. Frasor didn't have much to begin with, and the Jays have enough talent in the minors now that they can afford to just drop him. Overbay has some good value to hold onto as IIRC, if he walks in the off-season, the Jays get a supplemental 1st rounder, and if he breaks out they may get 2! I don't think anyone would be willing to offer any more than that, so my guess is he'd be a Jay until the off-season.
