Street with no name

This street has a name, but not a marquee one. His father is legendary inn Texas as a Longhorns quarteback, played in 2 Cotton Bowls, one against future Argo QB Joe Theismann, ryhmes with Heisman.

Huston has a one yr deal for $7.5 million, and a player option for 2013 of $ 9 million, but a trade would have to be made, and what th eRox crave is more pitching prospects. They fleeced the Indians last year, and you watch that kid Pomeranz rise to the top of their rotation.

This might be the best option, as Street is only 27, he strikes out a batter an inning, and does not surrender walks.

Jays have prospects as starters, but no ready made closer. I could even see Dustin McGowan be dangled as trade bait. Dusty showed the ability to compete at this level, and would come cheap, salary wise. I would hate to see him go, but the addition of Street means you do not have to compete with other teams for Heath Bell, Joe Nathan, et al.

GM's are meeting this week, so there is a buzz about Anthopolous making a bold move ahead of the December winter meetings. This deal would shouw legitimate free agents of the committment to shoring up the pen.

Papelbon is off the board, and the Marlins seem set to back up the Brinks truck for Jose Reyes, Albert Pujols and others, so as I say, the timing is right to grab a ready made closer, surrender a Deck McGuire or Henderson Alvarez or even a Travis Snider and put the Jays on the map.

It would give the fans a "Rocky Mountain High" to get a Huston Street on the staff.
