The Return of Jaysblogging

The Jays have sent Josh Towers and Russ Adams to Syracuse.

There's no word yet on who's coming back the other way, so I think that I agree with the comments over at Batter's Box speculating that a deal is forthcoming. Apparently, Adams will be working out at second with the Skychiefs, which might clear the way for the Hill at shortstop, Adams at second defensive configuration I've wanted to see for about eight months now.

As for Towers...well, he's been horrendous this year, and tonight's demotion has the feel of something long anticipated come to pass. I hope he gets it together down in AAA, but I'm not terribly optimistic-his stuff has never been anything better than okay, and if he can't hit his spots he's never going to be anything better than lousy. But we'll see.

In spite of all of this, they're only two back of Boston, and playing pretty well. I remain optimistic-though that would probably be true if they were eight back as well...
