Baseball Notes From Yesterday

The Toronto Blue Jays split a double header with the Cleveland Indians despite the Indians' starting pitchers throwing 18 shutout innings.  To make matters worse, the Jays' starting pitchers allowed just three runs over 16.2 innings.  Unfortuantely, the Jays' offense is putrid.  In the second game, Marcus Scutaro was at DH and Jose Velandia started at SS.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed SS Raphael Furcal on the 15-day D.L..  This opens the door for rookie Chin-Lung Hu to try out for the starting job in 2009.

The other teams in Los Angeles sent 3B Brandon Wood to AAA in favor of 26-year-old Matt Brown.  Is Wood done as a prospect?  The Angels have Macier Izturis, Chone Figgins and Howie Kendrick on the DL, and the team still doesn't have any place to get Wood regular ABs.
