Let's Start a Rumour!

Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman suggests that "The Mets appear to be looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder to platoon with Ryan Church."

Hmmm.... I wonder if the Jays have any spare right-handed hitting outfielders...

7 rational and reasonable comments:

I actually thought this the other day. Mention it on mlbtraderumors...I bet that's where a lot of rumours actually start.

While we're talking about rumours, here's some unreported news: apparently the Jays are going to start Travis Snider in AA. It was brought up in a BP chat, and Marc from bluejayway who gets info from clubs and what not also confirmed it. Jay Bruce went from single A to AAA last year at the same age....so how fast does this mean Snider will be up here?

Funny story. the bigger picture is part of a "slapshot" taking place, or AKA "the milton." It's when you take a shot (can be a really hard drink, or maybe just jager) and then you slap the other person really hard. It wakes you up. It was called the milton cause they apparently invented it.

Have you ever done a Troy Glaus? You gotta be a fuckin powerhouse.

You can't do a Troy Glaus this early though. It just wouldn't be outrageous enough.

full year of AA and come September he'll be in the bigs... it's becoming common practice to have top prospects skip AAA(maybin, upton)
