Banks Claimed, Gronkiewicz Finishes

Two quick updates, both involving what I see as big mistakes by a tunnel visioned Toronto club:

Syracuse's 8 game streak is over, with a 3-1 loss to Pawtucket. Coming in for the save was ex-Chiefs reliever, Lee Gronkiewicz. Gronkiewicz has been great with the Paw Sox so far this year, and it was a big mistake not to make sure he re-signed with the organization.

As for the other Toronto mistake, Josh Banks has been claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres. He is currently placed on the Portland Beavers of the PCL. Banks had a few iffy starts so far this year, but he has some of the best control that I have seen. When he gets out of the slump, San Diego/Portland fans will be happy they got him.
