    BTW, if anyone knows... we will be paying for the rest of Glaus's contract right?
    Yes, except for a $800 000 tax adjustment.

          I don't like it how Glaus will be the new 3B. If Koskie's still on the roster by opening day he should be at the hot corner. Koskie is superior to Glaus in terms of D.

          JP also mentioned Glaus will be hitting clean-up with Wells and Overbay either batting 3/5 or 5/3. Mentioned Shea will be hitting behind those 3 guys and Adams and Cat will be at the top of the order. He didn't mention Koskie's name at all.

          He said the Jays payroll is at 72 mil right now so there's still 3 million left.
          JP also said the Jays could keep all the infielders (although I doubt this will happen).

          So I'm guessing the batting order will look like this:

          1. Adams
          2. Cat
          3. Wells
          4. Glaus
          5. Overbay
          6. Hillenbrand
          7. Hill
          8. Zaun
          9. Rios

          I'm be glad to never see Hillenbrand or Koskie batting clean-up again as long as Glaus stays healthy.

            Looks like Koskie is on the way out...hopefully we can get some COF help. Looks like JP doesn't really want Rios starting.

              Wells is best as a 5th hitter, IMO.

                Wells is best with a power hitter hitting behind him (see 2003)

                    When those first pitches are fastballs instead of off-speed stuff, it's better for him.

                        I was watching a report on the Score and the reporter said JP is gonna call Eric Hinske and tell him that he'll be playing some 1B but also ask him if he'll want to try playing some LF. That my friends would be a disaster in the making.

                        that we don't see him roaming the OF.

                            I saw that report and JP must be sniffing glue. That would be an awful move.

                            SN had a report and played a few clips from the O-Dog. He's a class act and mentioned how great the Jays were going to be next season and how great the city of Toronto and the fans were.

                            I wish O-Dog nothing but the best. Too bad the D-Backs don't visit Rogers Center next season. I have a feeling he would recieve a standing ovation.

                              I take all of JP's comments now with a grain of salt. According to him, we were never interested in Glaus and Burnett. My guess is that this is a feeble attempt to increase Eric's trade value.
