Munenori Kawasaki heading to Buffalo to make room fot Reyes

Munenori Kawasaki ys the odd man out is off the Jays 25-man roster to make room for Jose Reyes who is coming off the DL in time for the finale in St. Petes against the Tampa Bay Rays as the Jays have to lick their wounds and it will be an extremely quick turnaround with first pitch just after high noon. It is great to have Jose Reyes back at shortstop and has played 10 games this season and after walking in the season opener he in the next 9 games he collected at least a hit in each game so he has safely reached base on all the game he has played in. He has been diffidently missed in the last 65 games and will better the team at the plate and in the field. The only thing that surprised me is that Munenori Kawasaki is the odd man as I am not sure if Jose Reyes will be able to play every inning and Munenori Kawasaki will be missed in the clubhouse as livened up the clubhouse and kept everyone at ease and help to lift the Jays to the 11 game win streak and putting together a 15-4 June going into the last two games and are still 15-6 this month of June. After a rocky start he settled down and became a Toronto icon with great sound bites and put a great show on the field with his deep knee bends and then he would of helped fill in late in games just like Rajai Davis replaces Melky late in games. In the end Munenori Kawasaki would of been the 25 man on the roster and it really does not matter who is that last guy but I feel that he should still be on the roster and have a guy like Dustin McGowan being sent down to Buffalo or Mark DeRosa beimg put on wavier and him bring picked up by one of the other 29 teams unlike McGowan who would clear waivers still be in the organization and the bullpen goes from 8 to 7 pitchers. If DeRosa leaves then Edwin Encarnacion would be the back-up third baseman when Maicer Izturis need a blow and would fill the bill until Brett Lawrie is 100% and is back on the roster and that should of been the time that Kawasaki should of been sent down to Buffalo. The Jays need to pick themselves up off the mat again Tom Mehegan
