Do you know when Melky will be coming back?

Nope.
They say sometime after the all-star break.

They say that Lawrie could be ready by today and be a second baseman. Do you agree that Lawrie should be playing second base?

Well he could considering that's is what he did for years.
But he just hit 0 for 4 with three strikeouts last night though.
I still don't like him.

Brett Lawrie is not consistent enough. He goes on small hot streaks then has big slumps and you can not have that on your team. His batting average is really low and his defensive work does not make up for it as he makes lots of errors.

Toronto Blue Jays sent OF Melky Cabrera on a rehab assignment to Dunedin Blue Jays.

Very true Fireball.

A few days ago, Lawrie was playing with the Bisons and he struck out 4 times out of 4 at bats! The Jays have to stop rushing him and let him recover slowly and let him come back in August or September.

I don't mind seeing Kawasaki go down but Lawrie is just being rushed and he's a big hothead.
Can't even hit.

Is there any news on Kyle Drebak?

He's down in Dunedin.
He took Chien-Ming Wang's 40-man roster spot so he was optioned but he's still doing rehab.
