<div>Darwin Barney (he of the robust .389 average) is tired of being dissed by Andy. Hell, without him the H.D. team BA would only be about .189, as opposed to .194. Note to league historians - has there ever been a USML team with a B.A. below the Mendoza

<div dir="ltr">So I think to myself. OK, I got screwed on Sam Dyson, who will never see the 9th inning of a major league game again. But at least Jeff threw in that Lourdes Gurriel guy from Cuba. With the Jays struggling (and playing the likes of Darwin
Barney), there's a good chance he'll be with the big club in short order. But then ...

<font color="#232323" face="proxima-nova, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18px;">Lourdes Gurriel was removed from his minor-league debut when he came up limping while running the bases in Tuesday's game for High-A Dunedin.</span></font></div>
<div style="margin:0px;padding:0px 0px 10px;border:0px currentColor;line-height:1.65;vertical-align:baseline;">
<font color="#232323" face="proxima-nova, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18px;">After appearing in a few spring training contests with the big-league club, the Jays' No. 7 prospect began 2017 in Dunedin on the seven-day DL. Tuesday's occurrence
appeared to be a problem with the same leg that hindered Gurriel originally. The organization has no reason to push his recovery and risk long-term problems, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Gurriel land right back on the DL -- for an extended period --
in the coming days.</span></font></div>
