This isn't our regular "Trivia Challenge" as there is just one question involved and we're out to build an All-Time Team of a certain era of players who suited up for just one team in their careers. You're already ahead of me here, right? Banks at shortstop, Bench catching, Walter Johnson on the mound ....
Well, hold on just a minute there. Here are the rules ...
Three wins and four losses. Brad Mills delivered another excellent start as New Hampshire won. Syracuse, Dunedin and Lansing lost. Auburn won and the GCL Jays split a pair as Jon Talley hit a pair of home runs in the win.
Purcey had been alternating decent starts with terrible starts for the big club this year, and yesterday he was due a bad one. Instead he was lights out, he threw six shoutout frames and allowed just five baserunners - comfortably his best Major League start of the year.

The Jays number one hitting prospect connected for his first home run in AAA but their top pitching prospect didn't fare nearly as well in fantastic Frontier Field. New Hampshire split a doubleheader, the GCL Jays got swept in theirs, Dunedin won and everyone else lost in an ugly 2-and-6 night for the affiliates.
It's late in the season but nothing is decided in the BBFL, this week sees new leaders in Alomar and Barfield.

Just over six weeks left. The battles for post-season positions are coming and the Blue Jays are right in the thick of it!
After all, they have many games to play against almost all the teams that actually have a legitimate chance to make it...
A quiet night in the minors as Syracuse and NH had the day off. The remaining 4 affiliates split their 4 games.

Jesse Litsch
has been recalled and returns to the starting rotation. To make room, John Parrish has been optioned to Syracuse (Parrish still has options?) and Scott Richmond will work out of the bullpen.
I logged on this morning to check out the Minor League Update. When it wasn't there I realized it was because Sunday's my day to report. Whoops.
In any event, one of two things happened to each affiliate yesterday: They either didn't play or they scored five runs and won. If the anticipation of knowing who did what is killing you, just click 'more'.
They say that money can't buy love in this world
But it'll get you a half-pound of cocaine and a sixteen-year old girl
And a great big long limousine on a hot September night
Now that may not be love, but it is all right
We had a brief glance at the evolving AL payrolls a few days back. It was suggested that we should see how they do these things in the Other League.
David Wells doesn't seem to know that the only reason his nickname was 'Boomer' was because:
a) the Jays already had had a player named Greg 'Boomer' Wells, and
b) baseball people will never give you an imaginative nickname if they can give you an unimaginative one.
Vernon Wells is back, and will DH and bat 4th today. Kevin Mench has been optioned to Syracuse.
A rainout in the Gulf Coast League meant that five affiliates were in action and four of those games were decided in the last inning. If I tell you that Auburn was the team not involved in one of those aforementioned games and that the affiliates went 3-1 in those games, could you guess which team took the loss? I hope you’d at least be able to narrow it down to two pretty quickly. Lansing won in extras behind a couple of 4-hit performances, Travis Snider went 2-4 in Triple-A and David Cooper hit his first homer in High-A. Rehabbing big leaguers did not do so well, as Shannon Stewart and V-Dub both were hitless and Jeremy Accardo gave up a pair of runs.
