It's the relievers, a couple of hard throwers, that might have us smiling a few years down the road.<br /><br />We'll always have the memories.<br /><br />And the personal reasons were family reasons.<br /><br />From the T.O. Star:<br /><br />"[Rolen] mentioned he's got some personal things he's dealing with and if we could move him to a spot closer to his home, if we would take that into consideration, and we did," said Ricciardi.

The Jays young arms rely on our strong defensive play, and now we lost one of the best hot corner defenders for someone who is a career .938 fielding %. Compare that to Rolen's .967. EE made 23 errors last season...it takes Rolen 2-2.5 seasons to reach that. Not to mention Rolen's career batting avg is slightly lower than EE's career best. EE is currently hitting slightly above the Mendoza line. So way to cherry pick your stats you tard.<br /><br />Drew, where are you drinking?

This isn't a terrible deal.<br /><br />Encarnacion's 5 home runs are in 139 ABs, which is only 3 less home runs than Rolen, who's had nearly 200 more at bats.
