Huge move by #bluejays today. Josh Thole recalled. Blanco DFA'd

The best part is that the Jays are going to roll off a 10 game winning streak strictly due to this move.

Without Blanco holding us back, we will be free to finally make the run this team was always destined for.

Now the bigger question, does this mean the team is moving away from Arencibia as an everyday guy.
If they've recalled Thole to fill Blanco's role and provide occasional pinch hitting, then the impact is negligible.
If they're going to go with a more traditional platoon, then it's a bit more interesting.

Apparently LaRoche is coming up as well, no Negrych.

AA made this move just to complete the trifecta.

I know, I was trying to consolidate everything into one thread as info. broke. First was Thole, then Laroche then Chien-Ming wang. Ran out of characters. I'm the guy that sends you an email and types the message in the subject line.

Still probably better than both Chad Jenkins and Esmil Rogers. Becomes our #4 starter. Nothing can stop us now.

Really good news. Blanko is an automatic out, I dont understand what took AA so long.

'Bout time for some Yankee retreads to go out and dominate them for a change.

I called this a month ago...
Wang - 4W-4L, 2.33 ERA, 25 K in 9 games, 58 innings with Yankees AAA team this year so far.
his fastball sits at around 89-92 mph
and his signature sinker at around 88 mph
