The Globe and Mail reported today that the Jays and Angeles are continuing to discuss a Shea Hillenbrand for Adam Kennedy deal. I noted this a few days ago from a Fox Sports report, so it appears they are seriously considering it. The Angeles want cash or another player to make up the $2.45 million difference in contracts.

Luis Figueroa was called up to backup John McDonald at short until Aaron Hill is ready to take over. Hill will continue to play second for the time being, and work on the short stop position during practice time. Alfonzo will be a give a week to 10 days to get his bat in order at double A, then the Jays will figure out what to do with him.

Russ Adams isn't out of the picture for good. J.P. will give him time in the minors to learn his new position.
