The Toronto Blue Jays have sent Vernon Wells to the 15-day Mark Prior List with a broken wrist. Rotoworld.com thinks this could be the end of J.P. Ricciardi and since they are smarter than we are, we’ll let them explain:
“Wells will miss 6-8 weeks, forcing the Jays to put Alex Rios in center. Brad Wilkerson (now worth picking up in AL-only league) and Kevin Mench figure to platoon in right, so the team will have to keep going with Shannon Stewart in left and Matt Stairs at DH, which is how it was typically arranged before the Jays tried to shake things up with the addition of the two veteran outfielders. Adam Lind stays in Triple-A, and the Jays have about killed his trade value by showing no confidence whatsoever in him. Toronto is already in last place, and things look bleaker than ever now. Manager John Gibbons will probably go first, but this is ultimately Ricciardi’s responsbility and he should have paid with his job some time ago.”
