Jays Roundup - And What Will She Do with Thursday's Rags

When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

1. Fordin Notes: "Let's get started". My thoughts exactly!

2. If you missed our big conversation yesterday, then you might not know that "Jays get righty Frasor for Werth". Apparently Werth was too much like Vernon Wells. Here's CP's take.

3. Richard Griffin's headline writer asks "Was Jay trade Werth it?". A quote: "The trade serves to demonstrate that Ricciardi maintains a realistic view of the Jays '04 possibilities, repeating the modest hope of "playing significant games in September." If Ricciardi were maintaining a harder-edged, win-at-all-costs outlook, Werth would have stayed." Ten bucks says if the Jays acquired a Werth type player, Griffin would flat out say "A bad move. He strikes out too much".

4. With the trade a Canadian gained a roster spot, as Fordin reports in "An opportunity knocks for Pond".

5. Larry Millson of the Globe has more info on the Canadian in "B.C.'s Pond makes the jump, but he sees it as only a step".

6. The Star has CP's "Jays add Canadian content" on Simon Pond. They also have a similar story titled "Mission accomplished".

7. My Magic 8-Ball lied to me yesterday. The Jays managed to beat up on the Red Sox by a score of 13-8. Hinske with 2 homeruns. Today it's Chris Baker vs. the Reds. When asked if the Jays will win, Magic 8-ball says "Signs point to yes".
