Player Watch: August 12, 2009

I won't say too much about today's player watch, as I don't have much time today to put up the post. I also want to put up a post about the Rios debacle at some point very soon, but haven't had the chance over the past few days for a few reasons: depression, anxiety, and just being busy overall—also wanted to let the dust settle a bit. But look for that either later today or tomorrow morning.

Okay, player watch (I'll post players, pitcher and rehabs then comment at the very end):

Snider has become a monster in Class AAA and will be called up soon and now given the lack of a day-to-day right fielder the need for both his bat and glove in the Blue Jay lineup are further exemplified. But don't expect it to be before the 20th of August. Snider is teetering toward Super Two status, and keeping him in Las Vegas until at least the 20th will ensure the he doesn't receive the extra year of arbitration. Given that the Jays are no where near competing for a post-season spot, I can understand the move in financial terms. It must be a horrible feeling to know that you deserve a spot in Toronto, but future financial precautionary measures are keeping you on the bus touring cities in the PCL.

Arencibia continues with a down season in Las Vegas and although having a good week, Dopirak cooled off slightly from his previous week's performance. I'm still hoping that Dopirak gets the call in September so we can see his bat and defense in Toronto.

With Ruiz being called up the play DH, the Snider callup is given, and I expect Dopirak will see some playing time in the Major Leagues as well. Where does that leave Kevin Millar? Nowhere. Millar met with Gaston and JP this week; I anticipate this was concerning an ensuing drop—to nothing—of his playing time. It is unlikely that Millar would accept a demotion to the minors—or that the Jays would even ponder such a move—but I have a feeling that even when the roster expands to 40 men, there still isn't room for Kevin Millar.

Zach Stewart saw relief action in three games and put up some very nice numbers. It's looking like Marcum won't see any action in the majors this year says JP:
"We're leaning more toward that, probably [stay in the minors], at this point. He's healthy. There's nothing wrong with him, but there's no reason to rush him. He's going to pitch next year for us. He'll be like 17 months post-op at that time. He feels good. We'll probably just keep throwing him, but there's really probably no need to get him to the big leagues at this point. We'll just back off that way and give him all of Spring Training to simulate the intensity of what it is to pitch in a big league game."
As for Jansen, it looks like he might stay in the minors for the rest of the season as well. It has also been indicated that he'll go to the pen when he does make it back to Toronto:
"Eventually, he'll be back up here, but he just needed to pitch. Maybe this year is just going to be a year where all the kids get healthy and, at the end of the day, we check off September and we say, 'They're healthy. They feel good and, coming into Spring Training, we're not worried about Casey's arm and we're not worried about Marcum's arm.' "
