Tomo Okha has been designated for assignment today and the Jays now have ten days to trade him, release him, or send him to the minors.  Josh Towers is back in the rotation and will start next monday in San Francisco.  Home run hitter Barry Bonds will look forward to facing the home run prone Towers.

Meanwhile AJ Burnett starts today against Edwin Jackson in a game the Jays should win.  But we said that on Tuesday too and that didn't work out too well.  A win today would be nice before the team heads off for six west coast inter-league games.

With Okha off the roster the Jays will need to call up someone to take his spot, it could be Greg Zaun or it could be a pitcher, Brandon League or Jamie Vermilyea perhaps?
