Note to potential Blue Jays waiver claim: You will soon be removed from roster
The Toronto Blue Jays have gained some attention as they have claimed several players off waivers since the season started. All teams use waivers as a measurement of the talent they have on the bottom part of their 40 man roster. If a player removed from another team can help a team, it is the reason players are claimed. All teams have interest in upgrading their rosters. The Jays...

Anthopoulos defends waiver claims
If the day ends in "y," Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos is likely to claim a player on waivers.
To some rival executives, Anthopoulos is exploiting the rules to maximum advantage, building depth at minimal cost -- the price of a $20,000 claim.
But to other execs, Anthopoulos is violating the spirit of the waiver process, which is intended to create major-league...

Yahoo! Sports Article: New York Mets Should Continue Changing Starting Rotation
Once it was clear Shaun Marcum would have to start the season on the disabled list, Terry Collins was adamant that Aaron Laffey was their first option to fill the void.

Overhauling the Backend of the Mets Rotation; McHugh In, Hefner Out
Laffey or McHugh? Laffey or McHugh? Laffey or McHugh? Remember when I wrote that as a caption to the picture on the left back in March?
When you scan the organizational leaders in pitching only two names predominantly appear across every major statistical category; Rafael Montero, who has been chronicled very heavily here on MMO, and then there is Collin McHugh.

Get Well Soon, Shaun
You may recall Scott Boras had remarked that the Mets were shopping in the freezer section for free agents. And when the Mets signed Aaron Laffey, the analogy fit. But we weren't sure of the extent of it. Well now we know. Aaron Laffey isn't merely something that you get out of the frozen section of the grocery store. Laffey is that one item in everybody's freezer that...
Bryce Goes Yard Twice As Hefner and Bullpen Hand Nats 7-6 Win
One of the most revealing things about the Mets’ 7-6 loss to the Nationals today, is that they are 7-1 this season when Jon Niese and Matt Harvey start, and 1-7 when they turn to Dillon Gee, Jeremy Hefner and Aaron Laffey. That says a lot, doesn’t it?
Today’s sacrificial lamb was 26-year old Jeremy Hefner who made a quick exit lasting only four innings and allowing four earned...

Marcum making progress, could debut by end of April
The New York Mets gave up 28 runs in their recent 3-game stint against the Rockies in Colorado. Sure the air is thin and the bullpen was a big part of the problem, but the team’s starting pitching certainly had it’s share of problems as well.
Dillon Gee, Aaron Laffey, and Jon Niese combined allow 10 runs in 14 2/3 innings (6.13 ERA) and left the bullpen to log some serious...
