....and left Encarnacion on the bench? That wouldn't have worked out too well so far this season.
Maybe leave Lind in LF. It is very painful to watch Lind struggling at the plate this year. He looks like a man in quicksand.
Too bad he was nowhere that good last year, otherwise I'm sure we'd have kept him.
Look at his record late in the year, it was a lot better than when he came off the IR.
I'm not sure what we have in Santos, for a closer, I thought the ChiSox let him go pretty cheap. Time will tell.
For me, it is getting very frustrating to watch... for management and the players it must be excruciating!
The BJ's are playing well enough to be 20 and 10 even without 3 of their 9 cylinder offense (Bautista, Lind and Rasmus) firing. And the "revamped" back of the bullpen is even worse than last year!!!
At this rate, last year's dismal bullpen record is in danger of being eclipsed.
As I said before, time to sacrifice some virgins or hire some voodoo magicians! Either that, or make some substantial changes.
I really feel for A.A.... what else can the guy do?
Oh! Ward and Henke, where are you?

I did... only because it meant all the Jays had to show for Mike Napoli - a low-cost, great hitting (and underrated defensive) C-1B-DH - is the 50th overall pick in 2012.
As far as Francisco the pitcher, meh. He's just another guy. They might want to start looking at the bullpen coach - since Pappy became the pitching coach, the 'pen has been brutal.
The Tigers traded Brandon Inge because his bat went dead...and maybe Cabrera being at third had something to do with it. Looks like his bat just came back to life. Batting against the BJ bullpen will do that.
Lind demoted to 8th to-day. If Lind can't hit, he doesn't bring anything to the ballpark. He is not great defensively, he doesn't run or throw particularly well. He needs to hit to stay in the bigs.
I don't think he's all that bad defensively. Why does he need to throw well...he plays first base? Maybe taking the pressure of the clean up spot off him will help.
