The once interesting and insightful Baseball Prospectus devolved, years ago, into little more than a reference book. But this is the time of the year when it starts coming in handy, when you need to learn a thing or two about marginal major leaguers and AAAA soldiers.

As for Wagner, he did not even make the book. I wonder if his entrance music might be Ride of the Valkyries. Could be a tad ballsy for a career minor leaguer though his Buffalo numbers look splashy, like they'd warrant the music. I wonder how he feels about the smell of napalm?

I do understand Wagner. Janssen is hurt, even though he isn't on the DL. Wagner's ERA and WHIP are both below 1, and he seems to have found some control to go with the 100 mph fastball. I look forward to seeing him pitch.

Perez is an OK reliever, the kind of lefty you look at and think should have been on ML rosters a bit more. The question is whether he's what we need to replace the total loss of our long relief (Ortiz, Weber).

Redmond had a shoulder impingement that kept him off the AAA roster for 41 games, hence his abbreviated record this year. Which isn't great. I don't see much reason why you'd send Weber down and get him, to me you might as well just keep Weber.

Weber for long relief, Wagner for late innings, Laroche for 3B and offensive help while preserving ability to use switches.

The Jays' roster moves and non-moves this year have consistently confused me. This one makes me wonder if there are other injuries to the pitching staff, beyond the roster moves, and the jays are expecting to use a ton of relievers again.

On an only semi-related note, I now fully understand the Mark Buehrle component of the Marlins deal. Expensive, yes, but also true to his dependable history as the only guy left standing. It would be way worse without him.

If it were my club right now, Stilson, Carreno and LaRoche would be up.  My rotation going forward is Dickey, Buehrle, Cecil, Jenkins and Johnson (pending the return to health of Morrow and conditional on Johnson's good health).  Delabar/Janssen/Loup split the high leverage relief work. 

Today in the Globe, Morrow indicated that his forearm pain started in his previous outing.  Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to send him out for the 8th inning with an 8-4 lead.
