2011 Blue Jays/MLB Thread

Whatever adjustments Cecil's made, it looks like they're working. His past couple starts have been excellent.

After his last game, he said it was just a really easy adjustment with his delivery angle. I wish the coaches mentioned it to him earlier!
 
Phillies add Hunter Pence for a couple prospects and a couple PTBNL. I imagine that would just about wrap up the division for them - they improve their offence and get the guy who the Braves were targeting.
 
Another solid start for Cecil - that's promising.

Howarth and Ashby were saying that Francisco was being showcased for the Rangers - who would have thought it. Now if the Jays could just find someone to pitch the 9th in close games. :)

You would think the Rangers might be familiar with the guy who they had up until he was traded to the Jays.

True, but after the year he's having they may have wanted to let the Rangers see that his velocity/stuff is still pretty good and that it's more of a between the ears/command issue. If they think they can coach him into being a reasonable approximation of what he was last year they may assign a value to him that his numbers don't warrant.

Yeah, and being that they're familiar with each other, you have to imagine they feel there's a good chance they get him to right the ship., as he pitched fairly well for them. If they miss out on Bell, I almost expect them to make a serious push for Francisco.
 
Apparently the Jays have either signed their 2nd rounder LHP Norris or are very close. He was supposed to be a really tough sign.

Norris is meeting with the team in Tampa for a physical. This a fairly routine part of the process. I can't find any reliable sources that give any more to the story, other than his own twitter, which says "2 more weeks."
 
Jonah Keri ranks all 30 teams based on what they did at the deadline over at Grantland. The Jays come in at #2:

Maybe for a little bullpen help? Please?

I have to guess that any post-deadline deal that involves Jesse Litsch isn't going to return anyone who'll step in and immediately help.

You're probably right. I'm just desperate to begin rebuilding the pen - Even if it's for a so-so arm.

Probably not, but, the Jays were apparently scouting Daniel Corcino, the Reds top pitching prospect, before the deadline. Not sure the Jays could get him for Litsch, but, AA has certainly made a number of surprising moves, so, who knows?

Are prospects waiver exempt in a post-deadline deal?

Not that it's a pressing issue anymore, being that this deal was reported by a fake account, but, I believe only players on the 40 man roster have to clear waivers. I'm not 100% sure on that, though.
