Sure, he had a couple injuries stall his rise to the bigs, but he seems READY now.<br /><br />The Jays will have him for his "natural" prime (26-28) and hopefully more.

If an Overbay trade is still in play somewhere than AA is surely a believer as well. <br /><br />Since Sir Paul no longer posts, would it be possible to request 'Rockit' by Herbie Hancock? Yeah, it's not rock per se, but it does embrace the spirit of the genre, that is that one has "to rock" and "it", whatever that it may be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-31176585402695437932009-11-20T08:22:42.334-05:002009-11-20T08:22:42.334-05:00Sorry for the half-link - that article is from the...Sorry for the half-link - that article is from the Business of Baseball... feature story yesterday (Thursday)REANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090485859186248405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12516131367233524382009-11-19T23:14:26.149-05:002009-11-19T23:14:26.149-05:00Reason number 101 is elected to the Topps AA all-s...Reason number 101 is elected to the Topps AA all-star team... <br /><br />http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3756:pair-of-phillies-prospects-part-of-10-topps-double-a-all-star-team&catid=19:latest-milb-news&Itemid=34REANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090485859186248405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12454796339405242322009-11-19T11:02:10.191-05:002009-11-19T11:02:10.191-05:00I don't think I'd want to be a sports writ...I don't think I'd want to be a sports writer either.
