TSN reports that the Jays have claimed former top pitching prospect Seung Song off waivers from the Expos.
Originally signed by the Red Sox in February of 1999, the now 24-year-old righthander was traded to Montreal along with Sun Woo Kim in exchange for Cliff Floyd, July 2002. Song breezed through the low minors before slowing down slightly when he hit Double-A in 2002. He mastered that level in 2003 and earned a promotion, but again struggled with a new level. This past year at AAA Edmonton, Song posted a 4.26 ERA in 63 innings. In May, he broke his right arm (radius bone) while sliding into second base and missed two months. Currently pitching in the Arizona Fall League, Song has a 5.91 ERA in 21 innings.
