Chris Woodward Out for the Season!!!
In shocking news, it was revealed today that Chris Woodward, starting shortstop for the Toronto Blue Jays, would be out for the rest of the season. He ruptured his achilles tendon in the top of the second inning in a game against the Detroit Tigers. He was legging out a double and it appears it happened right before hitting second base.
This comes at a rather bad time as there isn't a whole lot of options left on the open market. The Blue Jays are already in talks trying to bring somebody over, but there has been no mentioning of who. There are, however, rumors that Mark Bellhorn or Geoff Blum might be making their way to Toronto. Both men would be a large step down from Woodward's defense, but a step up from his offense.
For now Chris Gomez will step into the role of starting shortstop and will end up batting around the 8th spot.
Dave Berg, a utility player that can play anywhere on the field except for catcher, (1 star, 33 years old), who was hitting .333 in AAA will be called up to take the roster spot. That .333 AVG. was, however, in only three at-bats.
