Instead of taking earning quality AAA at-bats he had to get beat-up in the majors.

But in the short-term, the Jays would be in quite the bind if they had the chance to unload Overbay's salary and what held them back is not having a player with experience at 1B to eat innings for the rest of 2009. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have two minor leaguers as your only options at 1B which would be the case if Millar is DFAed. Who knows though, maybe JP is perfectly comfortable with two minor leaguers at 1B. I don't know, I'm just trying to find an explanation for keeping Millar that goes beyond "he's good in the clubhouse."str2k9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-2212051288326638652009-08-05T15:32:06.895-04:002009-08-05T15:32:06.895-04:00I could see the Jays trying Encarnacion at first a...I could see the Jays trying Encarnacion at first at some point, depending on what sort of third baseman they might have next year.<br /><br />Dopirak has been fantastic at LV so far. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets lots of playing time in September.<br /><br />Also, there's been talk that the Jays want Adam Lind to go to the Instructional League to play first this winter. Seeing him run the bases, I wonder whether if he could actually get the footwork down, but it's worth a shot, especially if Brian Butterdude can work his magic with him.Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-38862147561744537662009-08-05T15:24:37.387-04:002009-08-05T15:24:37.387-04:00Call me crazy, but I don't think Snider has an...Call me crazy, but I don't think Snider has anything to do with Millar. I think keeping Millar around has more to do with trying to move Overbay in a waiver trade. If the Jays can move Overbay and don't have Millar they would not have a player on their roster who can field 1B (Bautista has 4 games played at 1B, Barajas 9). Of course, they could trade Overbay, release Millar, and call up Dopirak and Ruiz. But if those stink it up there is no one else to turn to.str2k9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-83082241957590022232009-08-05T15:13:58.680-04:002009-08-05T15:13:58.680-04:00This means Millar is a Blue Jay for another 15 day...This means Millar is a Blue Jay for another 15 days.<br /><br />FUCK.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-24245144385027643252009-08-05T15:12:45.236-04:002009-08-05T15:12:45.236-04:00I'm actually really glad that MLBTR posted tha...I'm actually really glad that MLBTR posted that thing on Super Two's because before that, it was about as clear as mud.Ian Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074587524873409802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-81106884060766591322009-08-05T14:06:25.431-04:002009-08-05T14:06:25.431-04:00I've always considered myself pretty good with...I've always considered myself pretty good with reading comprehension, but I had to make myself a little diagram on some scrap paper to get that paragraph.
