Re: Blue Jays Trade Hillenbrand to Giants

BlueBird Banter has the 1st comments on this story. Was this a case of either have a Hillenbrand trade or get rid of John Gibbons? Sounds like Gibbons was alot better liked than Hillenbrand so maybe that's a real contributing factor. BBB's post also speculates that Toronto may go after Matt LeCroy who was recently relesased by the Nationals.

Cool Re: Blue Jays Trade Hillenbrand to Giants

It sounds like the Jays couldn't stand Hillenbrand. And if what I read was accurate, can you blame them? What he did sounded like what a little kid would do.

Re: Blue Jays Trade Hillenbrand to Giants

Although when you look at the standings, the BlueJays are right in the middle of it, it sounds like JP Riccardi (sp?), their GM may be on thin ice. Hillenbrand is a nice player who should do well in San Fran. The arm they got back is nice and I've heard where they're interested in acquiring Julio Lugo from Tampa.
