Reds Swap 3rd Basemen with Jays

Today, the Blue Jays acquired 3B Edwin Encarnacion for 3B Scott Rolen.

Rolen is hitting very well this year and is reminding us all of his days back in Veterans Stadium with the Phills.

Encarnacion has been hurt for most of the season, but has some pop in his bat that is often overshadowed by some awful fielding blunders and just as awful swings.

Winner: Tie

This was a swap of Over-achieving has been for Under-Achieving youngster. The Jays are trying to get younger, and the Reds needed a Veteran for the Clubhouse. Hopefully Encarnacion can find his '07 self in Canada.
