If Rolen does regain his power, it will be a nice deal for Toronto. However, given his age, and the fact that shoulder injuries sometimes never really go away, it is huge gamble. Put it this way: as a Red Sox fan, I am happy that they are replacing Glaus with Rolen.

I’ll bet anyone $100 that the Jays finish ahead of the Devil Rays – I’d still make that bet if Scott Rolen doesn’t play at all next year.

Having said that, Riccardi is making the riskier move but it had to be done. Glaus’ contract is up next year and Toronto’s line-up is already full of no-speed high power guys. Rolen at least gives them another guy that can hit for average and power.

I understand the point you’re making but I think Scott Rolen could come back to his old self. Remember he had a surgery in 2004(I think), and came back with a great next season(2005), when healthy i think Scott Rolen is a better player than Glaus, because Rolen could hit for average, Better glove, better speed and plate discipline. Except power Rolen is a better player overall when healthy.

Good point. I’m skeptical of Accardo’s ability to follow last year’s performance, but given Hillenbrand’s issues with Gibbons, JP did get a nice return for him.
