Even if only to give our minor league depth at all positions more time to develop.Bombastic Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911937198596318731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12813901516238223332010-11-04T21:54:37.995-04:002010-11-04T21:54:37.995-04:00I'm worried about Overbay coming back.

I'm bad at debating hunches though.<br /><br />Still - there must be plans to move a few of the "almost" starters into the pen, or pick some folks up. Tallet can't be holding down a position either, can he? There is no number of innings at which he is a viable option anymore.QJayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581583881150328172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-16050604986393457602010-11-04T13:55:04.061-04:002010-11-04T13:55:04.061-04:00I dunno Tao, the way AA has been making sure every...I dunno Tao, the way AA has been making sure everyone knows he's going to be "aggressive" on the trade front has me believing he might already have something lined up, or at least storyboard-ed out. <br /><br />Like a warning shot across the bow, or something.<br /><br />I'm also not so down with your weird Huff-love. Though it wouldn't be the worst possible scenario, I'd rather the Jays pursued an already good/upside to be great dude (even if it costs an already-good arm) rather than committ a pile of dough over 3 years to your boy Aubrey.The Ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374953233006854310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-83803481603839152592010-11-04T13:54:17.427-04:002010-11-04T13:54:17.427-04:00It's not a complete rebuild of the bullpen, I ...It's not a complete rebuild of the bullpen, I don't think.<br /><br />I haven't even really looked at the roster in two weeks.

Your situation will probably work out better than his is.<br /><br />Seriously, do you think the Blue Jays will have to completely rebuild their bullpen? That's a bit scary, though, the comp picks are nice to pile up in a basket. Somebody has to finish the eighth and ninth, no?<br /><br />Huff is going to re-sign with the Giants most likely. A bat would be nice, but if Hill and the DH (whose name escapes me) have a bounce back season, that's like signing two new bats.William J.
