"The Blue Jays like Kevin Slowey, according to Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune (on Twitter). Christensen hears that the Blue Jays have relievers to spare and had three scouts watching Slowey pitch in a 'B' game against the Pirates this morning (MLBTradeRumors)."
I like Kevin Slowey, he is a solid back of the rotation kind of guy. Last year, Slowey posted a 4.45 ERA with 6.7 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 155 2/3 innings and he is still only 26 years old. With that being said I really don't see why the Blue Jays would be interesting in trading for him. They already have 4 guys (Jo-Jo Reyes, Jesse Litsch, Marc Rzepczynski and Kyle Drabek) fighting for 2 rotation spots. I have heard that Litsch has looked really good this spring, and it seems like it is Drabek's time to break into the majors, so I just don't understand taking away a strength (bullpen) to add another starter.
