Scott Rolen for Troy Glaus

bluejays

Considering how injury-plagued both Troy Glaus and Scott Rolen are, I waited until they had passed their physicals before wading in on the Glaus for Rolen deal between the Jays and Cardinals.  Assuming Rolen's shoulder holds up, and that's a big assumption, this is a great deal for our team.

Rolen is better defensively, carries a decent bat, and I never liked Troy Glaus as a Blue Jay.  We gave up Orlando Hudson to bring Glaus to town, and O-Dog was the best 2nd baseman to play in this city since Roberto Alomar.  I really miss O-Dog, and although he's not coming back, Glaus is leaving town.

This is an upgrade.  Now they just have to make it official.
