MLB YTD: 194-168, +30.20 Units

Took yesterday off, as I went on a little bit of a bender after the game on Saturday. LOL.


Rockies -105 (Francis) vs Cubs - 3 Units
Francis has been lights out the past month and is coming off dominant performances against the big bad Yanks and Red Sox during interleague. Rockies looking to bounce back after getting swept by the Jays....Cubs do not hit lefties well at all, and Marquis has been struggling lately...POD.

Blue Jays -142 (Halladay) vs Twins - 2 Units
Layed off Doc last start, and I'm back on him tonight. He's really got his stuff back since that injury slowed him down last month...his fastball is dancing again, and his cutter is tight....looking for another machine-like groundball clinic again tonight.

Royals/Angels OVER 8.5 -102 (Action) - 2 Units
John Thomson? Is KC serious? The Jays have had numerous injuries to their starting pitching all year, and this hick still couldn't crack the back end of the rotation...earning an outright release from the organization last week. He looked perma-injured in spring training, and his fastball did not even crack 90 during his stint in AAA Syracuse. Looking for LA to really tear a strip off him (and the bullpen too for that matter) at home tonight, and the ML reflects that! LOL. I'll take the over on a real low number instead, as I think LA gets there themselves....but Lackey could give up a couple as well....he's coming off his worst start of the year against light-hitting houston, and word is he has some shoulder problems (pitching on 6 days rest tonight because of the sore wing).

Padres +106 (Germano) vs Giants - 2 Units
Lincecum looks to be in over his head...SF's rushing him...Germano's been great.

GL!

Gregory Owen "Gregg" Zaun (born April 14, 1971 in Glendale, California) is a Major League Baseball player with the Toronto Blue Jays. A catcher, his plate-blocking ability and hustle have made him a fan favourite in Toronto.

Drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 17th round of the 1989 Amateur Draft, Zaun reached the majors with the Orioles in June of 1995. Used primarily as a back-up early in his career he was traded to the Florida Marlins in 1996 also won a world series ring with the Marlins in 1997, and from there to the Texas Rangers prior to the 1999 season. He has also played with the Kansas City Royals, Houston Astros and Colorado Rockies. He signed as a free agent with the Blue Jays prior to the 2004 season.

In 2004, the Blue Jays were the first team to make Zaun, at 33, a starting catcher. Valuable in the line-up as a switch-hitter, he set a career high in 2005 with 133 games.

Prior to the 2006 season, the Blue Jays signed Bengie Molina as the everyday catcher, making Zaun once again the backup. Zaun also started the 2006 season on the disabled list, with Jason Phillips serving as Molina's backup during the first week of the year. Zaun hit a game-winning two-run homer off the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' Josh Childers in his return on April 8. Molina's struggles against right-handed pitchers caused John Gibbons to platoon the two, with Molina generally starting against left-handed pitchers and Zaun playing against righties.

Zaun did some television broadcasting with Rogers Sportsnet for the 2006 baseball playoffs.[1]

Because the Toronto Blue Jays actively pursued Rod Barajas of the Texas Rangers as the club's new starting catcher during the 2006 off-season, it was assumed that Zaun would be exploring free agency as signing Barajas would mean Zaun would be maintained as a backup. Meanwhile, negotiations between Zaun and the club deteriorated, as Zaun claimed that the Jays offered "slightly better than back-up money for playing every day".[2] Negotiations with Barajas went as far as an offer conditional on a routine physical, but eventually fell apart for reasons yet to be disclosed. After turning down a reported $6.5 million 2-year offer from the Blue Jays a week earlier,[3] Zaun officially accepted a 2-year, $7.25 million contract offer to return to the Toronto Blue Jays as its starting catcher on November 28th, 2006. The new contract deal also included a 3rd year option, guaranteed based on appearances.[4]The signing came after Zaun was rumoured to have been courted by the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, both in backup roles.
