That was a fiendish ploy, Al...

But I laughed nonetheless!

MWAAAHAHAHA

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?

Every once in a while, teams find a Casey McGehee in another team’s trash can.

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???

by Fonzie2178 on Nov 3, 2009 10:52 PM CST up reply actions

...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

I found that post.

Here it is.

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.
