The biggest question of all is how the hell do the Blue Jays make B.J. Ryan attractive to other teams who need a closer? Unless everyone's bullpen collapses, looks like there will be a $10 million dollar mop up guy on the Blue Jays bench next year.

Man, would it be awesome if the Jays were buyers a...

Man, would it be awesome if the Jays were buyers at the deadline. Nick Johnson! I'm tellin ya!

Nice.

I have gone beserk for Castro in the past, but really, I'm assuming he'll be brought up as rosters expand at the end of the year so the Jays can see what he's capable of. I can live with that, especially since writing passionately about a man named both Castro and Fabio isn't in my best interests from a Google Search perspective.

Yeah, it's a bit of a larff over there with that joker Knudson.

Incidentally, his career ERA at Skydome is 9.53, so maybe there's a reason he feels such ill will towards the city.

Hey Tao, enjoyed your comment over to our boy Knudson. I'm the Chris over there begging him to make a wager. Dude's gotta have some coin he's willing to put up since he's 100% positive Halladay is getting moved THIS YEAR. What a dick.

Pointless trade talk makes me sleepy.

I fell asleep before I even got to the end of my own post!

Won't you please indulge in wild speculation about the Jays picking up some big names at the deadline? That's what blogs are for.

I hear they are getting David Cone and Rickey Henderson!

If a team loses a bat through trade or injury, they may be interested in picking up Millar simply as an extra body or bat off the bench, especially for after September 1.

But if you want to set the odds at 10000 to 1, we'll drop a loonie down on that action.

Barajas is fourth amongst MLB catchers in RsBI with 37 (more than Posada, McCann, Pudge, Napoli) and handles pitchers well. If he doesn't get offers for more than the $2.5 M, we'd be surprised, although we're not expecting him to double that number or anything.

Let's be serious. The odds of any team wanting to...

Let's be serious.

The odds of any team wanting to pick up kevin millar are 10000-1.

What has Barajas done this year to make you think he deserves a raise over his 2.5 M salary.
