Phils take the Stairs

They trade an un-named prospect to Toronto for Matt Stairs. Basically a replacement for the injured Geoff Jenkins. Decent LH PH-ing type although not real versatile. Great slow-pitch softball swing.

I guess he can play some RF but when I think of him I think DH.

Three guys linked in my head: Matt Nokes Larry Sheets Matt Stairs

Matt Nokes is the guy I couldn;t think of. I definitely associate Stairs with "Sluggo" Don Slaught. Always hitting doubles, that guy.

Funny. Future owner/operators Batting Cage/Family Funplexes everywhere.

One of my favorite players. I'm sad to have to root against him for the next month.

The 2000 Oakland A's softball team: Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, John Jaha, Matt Stairs. Take a walk or swing from the heels. Only Jaha hit RH

I've got no complaints if you want to throw Ben Grieve in there.
