BJ to get TJ

Could it get any worse for the Blue Jays? They are currently in last place in the AL East, 9.5 games behind 1st place Boston and almost as far out of the wild card race. Behind Halladay and Burnett, their rotation consists of Ohka, McGowan and Marcum. Who? Yeah thats what I thought. Oh yeah and now, Jeremy Accardo is their closer. Frasor is still the Closer on the teams official depth chart but we all know how that experiment went. Why is Accardo the closer? Not only is BJ Ryan on the DL, but he is going to have Tommy John Surgery and will miss the rest of the season. Time to look towards next year Toronto.

Taking a look at the Reds

UPDATE: Bailey will not be called up to replace Milton for this start but he still may be worth adding. He is a top prospect and will be up sooner rather than later.

One major move and one possible move thrust the Reds to the front of my mind today. The first priority is that one of my breakout picks for the year has just been demoted. Edwin Encarnacion could make a great buy low canidate for a lot of teams and I think the Reds acted hasitly in demoting him. If someone in your NL only or deep mixed league drops him, you would be wise to grab and stash him. I think he could still have a fantasy impact later in the year.

In other news, the Reds still have not announced who will start in Eric Milton's place on Sunday. Speculation is swirling that it may be the beginning of the Homer Bailey era in Cinci. That would make the top 3 pitching prospects all debuting in the first 6 weeks of the season: Bailey, Lincecum, and Hughes. If Bailey is unowned in your league you need to add him.
