The move means that the Jays will have to drop someone from their 40-man roster (despite having a two other minor league middle infielders already on their 40-man). They had to do that last weekend, and ended up losing prospect Miguel Negron on waivers in the process.

True, but although I think Negron was a #1 pick a while ago, there didn't seem to be much disdain at his loss....seemed like he had stalled a fair bit, and he was pick way back wasn't he? In the mid-1990s ('94 or so I think)?
