Jays mailbag: Should the Jays also start Arencibia at DH?
In the moments immediately after the game in Atlanta on Wednesday, a frustrated John Farrell talked about looking for a “spark” to get his team out of its offensive doldrums.
As usual, Jose Bautista is a part of the solution, moving to third base for the short-term to make room for another bat in the outfield. By signing Yunel Escobar to a two-year deal plus two option years, the Jays have identified another core player for the future. You now have Bautista, Escobar, Adam Lind and Ricky Romero under contol through at least 2014.
The sophomore GM Alex Anthopoulos has said in the past that he only works on one contract at a time when it comes to extensions. So who's next? As soon as Brandon Morrow gets his groove back, which he is on the way to doing, it says here that he will be the next player locked up for at least four more years. On to the Mailbag.
Q-Hi Richard,
I am very confused about the Jays this year. They say it is a building year, then they go and re-sign EE... they sign stop-gap players for the bullpen in Octavio Dotel, Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco, but at the same time they cannot seem to find a DH who can hit above .250 and a third baseman who hits above .200 (I know they are waiting for Lawrie, but that's probably next season). Basically if this year is for building and they don't really care about attendance, then why all these past their time veterans and not let some of the Triple-A guys get some experience here in Toronto?

A- Jays' GM Alex Anthopoulos has admitted that he is learning something new every day and one thing he is finally coming to grips with is the fact that you can't orchestrate the rate of each player's development and there are dangers in trying to manipulate service time – see Brett Lawrie. I had no problem with the Jays signing Encarnacion in the winter because at the time they insisted he was simply a DH with some backup duties at first base. The Jays completely lost sight of what they were doing and what they had promised the day they appointed EE as the starting third baseman just as spring training was winding down. As for the stopgap members of the bullpen, I have no problems with that either. They didn't need a lights-out closer in the short term because they weren't ready to compete, but they did need a deep, veteran bullpen to back up a young rotation. If anything they have too many of those guys but it has helped keep the Jays on an even keel.

"I love TLR(Tony La Russa) - the guy is just ahead of the curve. He invented the closer and now he invented "the second lead off man" batting the pitcher 8th. That lets him put a nice hitter behind him to serve as a spark plug.
