Roster Moves Log

Travis d'Arnaud was in the Dickey trade.
He is in AAA for the Mets.

Mind you Sand, Esmil Rogers has been moved to the bullpen, Todd Redmond will be called up to make Happ's start, Happ will make Johnson's start and Johnson will make Rogers' start.
Happ will be placed on the bereavement list for 3 days.

Yes, Redmond's back! Then who will go down when Rogers is back in the bullpen. What good prospect is in the minors right now, ready to be called up?

Rogers or Storey will likely go down.

There really isn't that great of a prospect down there.

Man, they should have drafted better but we did trade a lot of our good prospects to the Mets and the Marlins.

Toronto Blue Jays place LHP J.A. Happ on the 3-day bereavement list.
Toronto Blue Jays recall RHP Todd Redmond from Buffalo (AAA).

Then who's going back to the minors?

No one until Happ is back.
It will likely be Rogers or Storey.

Toronto Blue Jays placed RHP Josh Johnson on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to August 7, 2013. Right forearm strain.
Toronto Blue Jays recalled RHP Thad Weber from Buffalo (AAA).

Johnson, they have pretty much given up on him.
Rasmus tweaked his elbow, may go on the DL.
Anthopolous said Rogers or Weber will make Johnson's start.
When asked on who to take the spot full-time he said he considered Romero, Stroman, Nolin and everyone in the minors.
I personally think Weber could do well considering he pitched well, in AAA, including a no-hitter.
Wang can still be considered, Chad Jenkins, Deck McGuire even the veteran Claudio Vargas.

Toronto Blue Jays placed CF Colby Rasmus on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to August 12, 2013. Left oblique strain.
Toronto Blue Jays traded utility man Emilio Bonifacio to Kansas City Royals for a player to be named or cash.
Toronto Blue Jays purchased the contract of OF Kevin Pillar from Buffalo (AAA).
Toronto Blue Jays recalled SS Munenori Kawasaki from Buffalo (AAA).

I'm glad Bonifacio is gone. He was a very fast guy, but he couldn't hit well and he made ALOT of errors. Why did they start Rogers instead of Weber? Rogers hasn't even pitched in the bullpen again and he was called back to start. KAWASAKI!!!!!!!!!! Glad he is BACK!!!!!!! Why did they bring up Pillar instead of Gose?

Jason, Pillar is batting over 3.00 in AAA.
Gose is batting just over 2.00.
Gose is not their best minor league outfielder.
Today is Rogers' birthday.
He pitched well.

Pillar and Kawasaki made amazing catches yesterday! Too bad Rogers couldn't pick up the win on his birthday. Is Weber in the bullpen right now? When do you think Rasmus will be back?

Rasmus in mid-Septmeber.

Where is Izturis? Is he hurt or he is in the bench because they always play Kawasaki and De Rosa?

Just taking a break they said.

Toronto Blue Jays optioned RHP Mickey Storey to Buffalo (AAA).
Toronto Blue Jays recalled OF Anthony Gose from Buffalo (AAA).

Toronto Blue Jays activated LHP J.A. Happ from the 3-day bereavement list.
Toronto Blue Jays sent LHP Luis Perez on a rehab assignment to Dunedin (Advanced-A).

What happened to Maicer Izturis?

Toronto Blue Jays placed 3B Maicer Izturis on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to August. Left ankle sprain.
Toronto Blue Jays signed free agent LF Ryan Langerhans.
Toronto Blue Jays sent LF Ryan Langerhans outright to Buffalo (AAA).
Toronto Blue Jays recalled SS Ryan Goins from Buffalo (AAA).

What team did Ryan Langerhans play for before? Does he have some talent that is young or is he a veteran? Why did they bring Goins up? He is a good defender but his average isn't too bad (under .280). Don't we have Reyes, Kawasaki, De Rosa to play 2nd base and Shortstop? Too bad so many injuries this year!!!!!! By the way, Melky Cabrera will probably be shut down for the rest of the season.

Toronto Blue Jays placed LHP Aaron Loup on the paternity list.

He is young, give young guys a chance
Also, Chien-Ming Wang is going to be called up for tomorrow's start.

Toronto Blue Jays optioned RHP Brad Lincoln to Buffalo (AAA).
