Downs signs with Blue Jays
http://0rz.net/cd057
The Blue Jays added another arm to the mix on Thursday, signing ex-Expo Scott D
owns to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
Downs thrived at the Triple-A level and struggled in the big leagues last seaso
n. The southpaw went 10-6 with a 3.52 ERA at Triple-A Edmonton, and he was name
d the Pitcher of the Year in the Pacific Coast League.
Downs followed that up with 12 starts for the Expos, posting a 3-6 record with
a 5.14 ERA. His career record is remarkably similar: Downs is 7-10 with a 5.41
ERA in 32 starts spread over three seasons. In 163 innings, he's allowed 206 hi
ts and 24 home runs.
Downs is 28 -- one year older than Josh Towers, Toronto's prohibitive favorite
for the fifth starting slot. He'll get a long look in Dunedin, and he'll likely
be compared to a trio of pitchers jockeying to be the number one contingency p
lan: Gustavo Chacin, Ryan Glynn and Justin Miller.
Toronto is still looking to add another starter and a few relief options. The n
on-tender deadline may provide a few more names for both roles, but Downs bring
s depth a few days early.
