I miss having him on the Jays too. But, be honest where would you play him right now? It doesn't make much sense to tie up 5% of your payroll on a guy that's gonna collect splinters while sitting behind Wells, Rios, Lind, and Snider. Still I do miss his class and his guts.

Wasn't it Shannon Stewart who beat him out for the roster spot last year?

Stewart "beat him out" because Stewart was the way cheaper option. I don't think it was based on performance on the field. As a Twins fan (I think), you understand that sometimes money, or salary, overrules talent, even though your owner is rich enough to buy a few more teams.Originally Posted by EVEN11323
