Morrow and McGowan

Some reports from Bastian on the 2 of them here

Morrow threw as scheduled again and apparently his arm is still attached so he's going to get back on some kind of a schedule that should allow him to make a start in the 3rd game of the regular season. Again I will wait to see.

As far as McGowan goes, it's 2 more weeks of rest. Fine with me. I'm just still hoping at some point he proves me wrong. It should be pretty obvious to anybody that he is not any part of any plan. And if and when he comes back, it's all one gigantic boat of gravy.

Backup Catcher Death Match + More Good McGowan News!

Jose Molina vs Raul Chavez. Baseball-Reference.com  comparison page of the 2. How you figure out which of these guys is supposed to be the better option I have no idea. I mean wouldn't this be like watching 2 turtles race? Is it too much to hope that one of the Cibias, either Aren or Aaron can knock off both of these guys and bring some kind of interest to the position.

via djf Jordan Bastian reports that Dustin McGowan will throw his 6th bullpen session tomorrow, and the medical staff is trying not to get too excited.

Keep proving me wrong Dustin, keep proving me wrong.

More good news on the McGowan front

It's been a while, so I'll start with the good news. I just have to say that I continue to be happily proven wrong by his progress, and I hope to continue be proven wrong. When he first came up again in 2007 I was worried he would never get over his 100+ pitches to complete 5 innings problem, and he did, so I hope he proves I've got nothing to worry about again.

Good luck Dustin. And I don't care if the Jays somehow manage to screw this up and lose you because you're out of options, I'll keep cheering.
