Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Lee Sinins reports:
The BlueJays traded LF Shannon Stewart and a player to be named later to the Twins for OF Bobby Kielty.
My first question is why? They are not that dissimilar: bith have OPSs in the .790s. Stewart once was a speedy baserunner but has only one stolen base this year. He is only 29 but has been declining steadily since 2000.
Kielty is three years younger and showed a lot of promise last year though he hasn;t fulfilled it this year. He also makes a fraction of what Stewart makes ($325K to $6.2 M) and Stewart is only signed for one year.
I see this as a win-win for the Blue Jays. It looks like an act of desparation on the Twins' part.
