Baseball and Relativity
Easter has come again and while Christ is risen and the sins of the world redeemed, all is not well in the land of Toronto baseball. From the top pitcher Casey Jansen, a promising young arm who was vying for a spot in the rotation, has been shut down for the season. With Jesse Litsch continuing his 2007 success Toronto doesn't need to be too worried but recount Jansen's impressive bullpen numbers and realize that we were much better with then we will be without him.
The second issue; Reed Johnson has been released. Johnson, a fan favorite, was aware of the potential for release when the Jays tendered Shannon Stewart a minor league contract. Johnson, who's spring statistics have been much better than Stewart's (Johnson is batting 60 points higher), is a fan favorite and will be missed. Expect fan support to be quite low for Stewart if he falters early in the season despite his past history with the club.
The third issue; Don't lament the loss of Glaus. Like I've said before, even if he does well in St. Louis keep in mind that he left Toronto due to foreseeable perpetual injury. That being said, Rolen is already ailing from a fractured hand that was a result of a freak fielding practice accident.
God, please help the Jays. They need it - hours from the start of the MLB season and there's nothing but injury on the horizon.
