Earlier today we talked about how well the Blue Jays have been pitching of late. On more than one occasion we’ve discussed how poorly the Blue Jays have been hitting all season. That’s why their decision to send Adam Lind to the bench after 19 at-bats is such a curious one.

It’s true that Lind has struggled in those at-bats, just one hit and one walk, but making a call that quickly is asinine. Lind’s proven himself time and again at AAA and didn’t make a fool of himself in the big leagues during an extended cameo last summer. He may not be a star but you need to actually take the time to find out.

Richard Griffin of the makes a strong point when he says that the latest move shows the Jays have a real problem with indecisiveness.
Consider that on Nov. 2, the Jays signed Stairs to play in left. In December, they offered Reed Johnson arbitration to platoon in left. In February, they signed Stewart to battle for a platoon spot in left. In March Johnson was released. In April, Thomas was released. Stairs entered a DH platoon with Stewart and Lind was promoted. And then came yesterday. All we can say is stay tuned.
At this point, it’s only a matter of time until Lloyd Moseby gets a call. This kind of haphazard team building starts at the top and is a bad sign for J.P. Ricciardi’s job security.
