Here's a fun exercise: Name the Jays' starting rotation.

1. Romero
2. Cecil
3. Laffey
4. Carreno?
5. Chavez?
6. Moyer??

Canadian pitcher, Scott Richmond, saw some action last night. Some may recall him starting quite a few games in 2009 with some success. He's an interesting story: undrafted and playing in the Independent League prior to being signed by the Jays at the age of 28. Last year in LV he was 6-9 with a 7.33 ERA.

Shawn Hill has started a couple games in LV. He seems to be doing well and may get the call soon ~ God knows the Jays need all the help they can get!

Almost forgotten slugger Travis Snider is healthy and playing again at AAA. He's hitting .336 with 8 HR and 39 RBI in only 137 AB. His production is as good, if not even a little better than what Lind accomplished (.392 8 HR 29 RBI in 125 AB). If I were Snider, I think I'd start taking things a little personally. They need to call him up or deal him. He's too good to be left in the minors.

Incidentally, Eric Thames isn't exactly lighting things up at LV (.273 2 13).

There's a lot of young talent at AAA. It'll be interesting to see what transpires in the coming weeks.
