Robertson looked serviceable for the first few innings, then fell apart.
Sheffield is out with a bum shoulder.
Polanco hasn’t hit well this year, and is out with a bad back.
Jacque Jones has proven nothing.
Cabrera will do well, along with Ordonez, Guillen and maybe Renteria. But we will see no “Murderers Row”, as I mistakenly predicted after the trade. Looking at this line-up with sober eyes, it’s apparent that they will be good. Not great, just good. Without equally good pitching, they will accomplish little this year.
But I’m excited, nonetheless. Why? Tomorrow, we will get another look at Armando Galarraga. Toronto’s hitters will have had some tape to review, so we’ll see how well he does. But I can honestly say I’m excited. It would be nice to leave Toronto with a split and a bright new star in the rotation. One can only hope….
