Do the Jays still owe a PTBNL or cash to Oakland for acquiring in Eveland in the first place?

We shipped them five-figures worth of cash, I do believe.

Nice. This has been a great set of transactions by Anthopoulos on the whole then. Even if they never really wanted to keep Eveland, it just goes to show that it never hurts to get another starter. Not only did the team flip him for a prospect, but they also got some innings and 3-4 good starts from him, which granted isn't much, but those 44 innings could really make a difference in saving this young rotation from fatigue.

I read this as "five fingers" (as in "what did the five fingers say to the face?") worth of cash at least 3 times before getting it right. I might think just a touch too highly of Anthopoulos.

Brian Burres AND Dana Eveland on the same team or even same rotation? Yikes. I do not envy Pirates fans.

Lucky there isn't too many of them.
