The Jays website says that John MacDonald and Luis Figueroa are supposed to split time until Adams corrects some of his defensive problems. Luis Figueroa???

I see he had two At Bats in 2001 but hit .417 in winter ball this past off season. He hit .289 at Pawtucket last year. If he's good defensively,that's all they'll need. MacDonald is a defensive whiz.

Just last year at AAA. If you look at the teams website on MLB.com and click on his name,there's a brief summary and a picture of him. He had 22 doubles,7 homers and 48 RBI's at Pawtucket. The Jays signed him in the off season. It's kind of nice to see a guy getting a second chance after 5 years between major league at bats!

Glaus at SS! Stupid Sportsnet, make me have to miss that because they didn't televise it! I would have loved to see him play short. How did he look at short?

By the way, welcome to the forum Cat, although your Leafs stink comment isn't sitting nicely with me. But that's another discussion for another message board. It's all good considering we're both Jays fans....Just aslong as you're not an Argos fan. :D :gt

I heard J.P. interviewed on the radio last night after the game. He says that the intent is to move Hill to his natural position of shortstop and have Adams come back to play 2nd. Adams played 2nd in Syracuse last night.

Why would he do that ???
Hill and Adams were playing 2B and SS , why switch them , there wasn't any defensive problem with Adams nor Hill ???

There was a defensive problem with Adams. He couldn't consistently throw the ball to 1st base. SS is Hill's natural position, how he ended up at 2nd after Hudson left, I don't know.
He has bought some time with Figuera and Alfonso, weill just have to see how it plays itself out.

Adams should have been switched to 2B long before he ever got to the majors. I think the only reaon he wasn't was because they Jays were starved for an everyday shortstop

agreed, hopefuly the shorter throw will correct his defensive incapabilties and can come back with his stick.

Figuro is going at short today. God he looled brutal yesterday in his one at bat and 2 innings in the field.

I have no where the skill of Figuero because he's in the magors and I play beeer-league softball so I'm not really one to judge, but man has he looked outta place a couple times in the field and at the plate.

if alfonzo can whack the ball like he used to, this might be a bonus addition

Well he struggled with anahiem this year he went 5 for 50 but if he can provide some good defense and get at least 1 hit that would be great.
