Today's Roster Move

Casey Janssen is back, and Luis Perez has been sent to Las Vegas.

Perez has gone 1-2, 3.57 in 24 appearances - not bad for someone in his first ML season, although a couple of LH batters - Chase Utley and Travis Hafner - touched him up for a couple of decisive, game-changing homers. Janssen (2-0, 2.93) has been as effective as anyone in the Toronto pen this season, and it's good to have him back.

In other news, the Blue Jays will be retiring their first number. It's 12, last seen on Edwin Encarnacion's back in 2010 (three seasons in Toronto for EE, and three uni numbers?) but worn for many years, longer than anyone else in fact, by Ernie Whitt.

But I don't think is about Ernie. Or Kenny Williams, or Tilson Brito, or Luis Lopez or Willie Greene. It's for the first Blue Jay Hall of Famer.
