That was a fiendish ploy, Al...
But I laughed nonetheless!

Hmmm....
Wonder why the Jays need a good hit, no field 2B…
Are they going to move Aaron Hill to SS or do they just need AAA roster filler?

It's a pretty solid pickup
I’m not sure Jarrett is a starting caliber player, but for nothing, the Blue Jays might’ve gotten some solid middle infield depth. For a team that’s likely to go under some retooling under Anthoupoulous, Hoffpauir could have a shot at making the big league roster.

Had I not done the same thing when I read the headline on MLBTR...
I would have been fooled. Nice try Al

Remember from ESPN...
In case you forgot, Jarrett and Micah are NOT related. REPEAT: Jarrett and Micah are NOT related.

BTW,
did you know that Jarrett and Micah are NOT related???

...Maybe it was Fox,
but at any rate, they’re NOT related.

You just remember my ZAMBRANO RELEASED fan post from when Victor Zambrano was released. That REALLY got
everyone’s attention.

I found that post.
Oddly enough, the Blue Jays were also involved. And note my comment to that post, I did NOT want him signed to a minor league deal.

Hah
The second I read that on mlbtraderumors.com I came here expecting someone to really think our Hoffpauir was traded and make a post!
Very funny Al!

The two Hoffpauirs.
Any resemblance? You decide.

If you slap a red X
on Micah’s face….I’d say they were separated at birth!

Hoffpauirs
Jarrett’s from Mississippi, and Micah’s from Texas. I was shocked they were not related. How common a name is Hoffpauir?

I Can Root for Jarrett Again
Now, that Jarrett is out of the National League I can root for him again. I liked him as a Memphis Redbird, hated him as a St. Louis Cardinal, and can root for him again as a Blue Jay.

He seems to be making the rounds of "bird" teams.
I assume he’ll be an Oriole some day.

Ha, you didn't get me!
I saw this on the MLB Network scroll last night. And somehow I knew someone would try to pull a stunt like this.
Having said that, I’m still disappointed that Hendry didn’t find a way to TRADE MICAH HOFFPAUIR FOR ADAM LIND!!!!

In that split second I was fooled I was surprised how little I cared.
I would have thought I’d be at least a little upset to lose him, but I just shrugged.
