Blue Jays Closing In On Eckstein
Thursday, December 13, 2007
The Blue Jays are closing in on a deal with shortstop David Eckstein, according to FOXSports.com. The Blue Jays admitted that they do not have a prospect ready to take over at short, so bringing in Eckstein as a stop gap is a great move. Eckstein batted .309 for the Cardinals last season with 3 HR, 31 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Yay! Sorry Johnny Mac, as much as we love you, you'll have to ride the bench
The Jays' defense is far superior with McDonald at shortstop, and his defensive is especially valuable to Toronto given their ground ball starting pitchers. Although McDonald is a very weak-hitting infielder, he can flat play the shortstop position.
