Call Up The Reserves

The Jays have signed three more players to add depth at AAA or to battle for backup roles in the major leagues.  These three players will join Matt Clement and Michael Barrett on the "taxi squad".  The three players are catcher Raul Chavez, pitcher Mike Maroth and and infielder Randy Ruiz.

Maroth will join Clement as injury prone players who are trying to get back to the majors.  The signing of two catchers is interesting.  Already the Jays have Curtis Thigpen, Brian Jeroloman and JP Arencibia to split between AAA and AA.  Chavez make four and I assume he knows he is going to be a backup and possibly the first major league call-up if Barajas or Barrett get hurt.
