But I guess next time I write i need to get more informed first. Thank you and I look forward to hearing you all season long. MW: Thanks, that's all I ask.

Anyways, about the teams younger pitchers who would you say has more potential between each pair of pitchers, and who has more trade value? McGowan or Marcum? Cecil or Mills? Ricky Romero or Purcey? "MW: The Blue Jays honestly believe that Scutaro and McDonald are almost equals defensively. I don’t agree, but Scutaro has played the heck out of shortstop so far this year and as I said yesterday, it now depends on where the Jays are in the order as to whether McDonald should stay in once he pinch-runs." So i guess we should start calling Scutaro the 3rd best defensive shortstop in the majors after Johnny Mac and Adam Everett...lol Thanks Mike MW: McGowan, Cecil and I think now Romero have the better potential, Cecil has the greatest trade value of the bunch (right now McGowan and Marcum have none).

There's a trend I've seen some places online of using a Spanish upside-down question mark at the end of a sentence to denote irony or sarcasm. To get the symbol you type ALT/1 on a Mac or ALT/CTRL/SHIFT/1 on a PC. Don't know if you wanna give it a whirl but there it is -- the closest thing I've ever found that remotely resembles a 'sarcasm key' on the glorious interweb. Anyway, back to baseball: I don't know about you but I sure hope that when Shea Hillenbrand is elected to the Hall of Fame, he goes in as a Blue Jay¡ Take care. MW: Thanks for the tip. Hey Mike,

I think this would be wonderful to click on every time somebody misses the joke. Maybe you should get an audio clip of yourself letting out a sigh.

Who would play third base in 2 years? MW: Scott Campbell, Brad Emaus or someone for whom the Jays trade. Rolen will be going into his age 36 season when his next contract starts, and he'll be looking for a multi-year deal. If he stays healthy, he'll get a lot more than the Jays ought to be willing to hand out, both in term and money. so why wouldnt you re-sign Rolen if he’s healthy?

Gibbons, Tosca both had much better teams to work with, deeper rotations, less injuries..what a job! Manager of the year!!!!!!!!!!
