Mailbag: Was recalling Richmond right? | bluejays.com: News

It was a completely fair decision for Richmond. Now, had Toronto called Richmond up from Triple-A Syracuse to make a spot start -- only to send him back to the Minor Leagues after one appearance -- then I think a real argument could be made about whether or not the Jays should have handed him the promotion.

Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi has taken some heat for this decision, but he made it clear that the club wouldn't have added Richmond to its rotation unless it was for an extended stay. Richmond is getting a chance to make at least a handful of starts for Toronto, and pitching in the Major Leagues was his goal.

I was wanting to have a take from the Jays Nation. With the Olympics around and the Jays not really going anywhere at the moment.

the Olympics is one thing but making the MLB is a whole lot better

and Richmond hasn't disappointed yet, two decent starts for a 5th starter I'll take it
