Edmonds getting a look at the DH spot

BRONX, NY (AP) -- After last season's resurgence with the Chicago Cubs, many people felt that was the best he had to give and would just float into the wind after a near Hall of Fame worthy career with the Cubs, Anaheim Angels and San Diego Padres. Instead, he is in the thick of a playoff race again, this time with the surprising Toronto Blue Jays, a team in which he leads in home runs with 13.

Toronto is a long way from retirement.

"I was thinking about it to tell the honest truth, I was crushed that no team took a chance on me in free agency but it turned out to be the best thing to happen to me," Edmonds said after last night's 12-6 win over the Yankees in which he hit his 395th homer of his illustrious career,"Cito called me up and told me that I was needed, that made me feel good."

Another call from Cito [Gaston, Jays Manager] was made Friday night informing the slugger that he is now the official starter at Designated Hitter. Hitting .412 with 13 homers and 31 RBIs in 43 games, Edmonds will replace the struggling Scott Rolen who has not hit a home run in over a month. He is expected to start on Saturday in game two of the four game set at the New Yankee Stadium.

"Hopefully I can bring some production to the middle of the lineup and help the team win."

Good call with Edmonds, and that'll make for an interesting storyline, as well. He's been doing really well for you so far. What do you think you'll do with Rolen?

Edmonds when with the Cardinals = $$$

 

[T.Dot]

Good stuff, im slowly catching up with all the Chises on here (dont get much time outside of playing and writing!) - but ive enjoyed this so far and I like the way a vet' in Edmonds is getting another shot.

Great to here man, hope you'll keep following.

Thanks man, and I'm not sure, I think Rolen might be released since Bautista is doing fine at 3rd and I have a lot of young guys in the system that I could call up, for now he'll be on the bench through.

edmonds deserves it

Ye, he has been money for me this year, hopefully he can continue his play.

Edmonds when with the Cardinals = $$$

Hahah, Edmonds with Jays= $$$$$$$

Thanks for following Woy

Haha, thanks Mike, and yah the Yanks are unbeatable now issed:
I just played an absolute thriller through, this is a great series for walk off wins.

Haha, I'll try, there just too damn stacked, and to think I swept them in the first series :smh:

Quit losing to the Yankees.

Haha, damn Brett Gardner and his speed, :rofl:

Joe Beimel, you douche!

He's been pretty good for me actually, not a strikeout guy but someone who can munch innings with minimal damage, I guess I left him in too long

Really nice update, T.Dot.

Yankees are kinda scary now, with those fireballers in the pen.

BRONX, NY-- Most teams would be pleased with a 53-31 record after 84 games while playing in the toughest division in baseball.

Not the New York Yankees.

Last week, while in the middle of a 9-1 record in their past 10 games, the Yankees traded for two star relief pitchers to strengthen a relitively weak bullpen unit when they traded for former All-Stars J.J. Putz and Joel Zumaya.

Putz, June 26, announced that he was not happy in the City by the Bay upon his arrival. Two weeks later he is back in the 'City that Never Sleeps', this time in Pinstripes. The former Mariners closer is expected to be a set up man for closer Mariano Rivera until the Future Hall of Famer retires.

Zumaya, a former top prospect in the Tigers system, has been plagued by injuries his past two seasons and was labeled expendable in the offseason by Tigers G.M. Dave Dombrowski. The Yankees landed the fireballer for prospect Austin Jackson, named by Baseball America as the top prospect in the Yankees lineup.

"I'm glad that two great players like [Joel and J.J.] were available, we think that they provide an immediate upgrade and I believe they can lead this team to a championship." Yankees G.M. Brian Cashman said after the team's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, a game in which Zumaya picked up the win, his first in Pinstripes.

No I'm not doing Roster Control but I think things have been pretty realistic so far tbh.
Lincecum has been a beast so far and the only reason the Giants should be happy this year.
Manny has been slumping lately but he's still obliterating the competition.

You deleted that update just to post it again. :doh:

And yeah, is the CPU pulling off those trades on their own?

Haha, I did that because I forgot to update the Standings and I figured if I posted that I updated them people would be too lazy to look :cyclops:
Ye, the CPU is.

youre unlucky to play in the al east

I know, at least the Rays are struggling this year, lol
