Damn... I think the Jays might have made a mistake bringing this kid up this early.

it looks like he broke the bone on a swing. which could have happened in any setting, unless you think he was swinging in a way that was more susceptible to injury just because he was in the MLB. maybe he's just a little injury prone but out of all possible reasons, i don't think this would be the reason to chalk up his early promotion as a "mistake"

[Wo1verine]

Jeez, I just missed his first career hit. Stupid hockey!

Usually i would agree but them Senators! Oh baby!

[LLJ]

Why can't the Sens sell out playoff games?

Why can't the Sens sell out playoff games?

Because the Leafs aren't playing them. No Leafs fans buying tickets to bail the Sens out.

[JaysRule15]

Alford gonna fit right in with this team with those freak injuries.

[TOStateofMind]

Jays mashing!

pinch hitting dwight smith jr for the pitcher reminded me of that time john farrell let darren oliver bat and then didn't even bring him out the next inning. what a decision

Even siilier: it was Sergio Santos rather than Oliver, and it was his first (and only) career plate appearance.

wasnt he a positional player before pitcher?

[Lateral Quicks]

Based on 600 PAs, Ryan Goins is now on pace to hit ~20 home runs.

And after he was a pitcher, yeah. Never really hit in the minors, and never got a chance to bat as a big leaguer...save for that one time.

Sergio Santos. I remember. He's in the Jays Hall of Shame for bad trades. Not that he cost much in the end, but so much hope was vested in that turkey. One of AA's less productive trades.

Feel bad for the kid. I would rather see him play in LF over Pearce and Coghlan.

So much hope is right. I'm a sucker for high velocity guys. Went out and bought a Santos jersey for $200 when we got him. I thought he would be our closer of the future for sure with that high-90s heater and filthy slider. What a letdown that was. On the bright side, my Santos jersey could probably be a collector's item one day, since I'm likely one of 500 or fewer people who bought it lol.
