Yesterday the Seattle Mariners claimed Guillermo Quiroz off waivers. Quiroz will be on the Mariners major league roster as a backup.

In other news:

* The Jays 25 man roster is virtually set. Brian Tallet and Jason Phillips will begin the season with the Jays while AJ Burnett and Gregg Zaun start the year on the DL.

* The second player taken off of the 40 man roster to make room for Tallet and Phillips is still unknown (with Quiroz being the first). (EDIT: the player taken off the 40 man roster was Vince Perkins).

* Ted Lilly has been pushed back a couple days due to a muscle problem in his upper back. The tentative plan is to slot him in for the fifth game of the year.

* Minor league rosters are set. A nice layout of the teams can be found at Gerry's site.

* Jeff Blair had a nice lengthy article on the Jays offseason that has a few new nuggets.
