I jumped on the wagon. Your talking about a kid who has, thus far, given up 3ER total after facing some pretty good hitting teams in Tampa, Texas and now New York. Still without a win, but not entirely his fault given the fact that he has gone 6IP twice (outside of today) allowing a combined 1ER and ending up with a ND in both games. Also like the fact that he fanned 7 against Texas and has 7 so far agaisnt the Yanks. I'll at least ride the train to see where it goes!


Drop Jarrod Parker for Smyly?

I'm not (starting him). I still have Strassy and Greinke to go with a two win lead, and he can only get one between his Price vs. Holland tomorrow, and I don't want to chance my small WHIP lead.

Which means he'll hold my Aviles and Papi to 1/8 in a 3-1 win.

I just dropped Sergio Romo for Smyly. I don't know much about him but he's off to a great start and his numbers last year in A+/AA were pretty nice. Still 22 years old.

126 IP, 2.07 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 130 K, 36 BB, 9.3 K/9

whats funny is that the Blue Jays designated him for assignment at sometime last year I think and nobody claimed him. I was screaming for the Padres to claim him, dude has the power to knock it out of Petco, and could have played some LF and 1B after the Padres dumped AGon

edit: it just seemed like that I guess
November 12, 2010: Selected off waivers by the Oakland Athletics from the Toronto Blue Jays.
December 2, 2010: Granted Free Agency.
December 16, 2010: Signed as a Free Agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.
