Blow-Jay (BJ) Ryan opts of WBC

Blue Jays' Ryan pulls out of WBC with Team USA

will he ever regain his fastball? likely no, a big waste

Team USA is going down in flames pretty quickly. On top of Ryan, you have Brad Hawpe, Joe Nathan, Grady Sizemore, and Brian Fuentes all pulling out; they're getting replaced by the likes of John Grabow, Joel Hanrahan, and LaTrash Hawkins. Ummm, yeah. At least this is good news for Team Canada. We have a decent chance at winning the pool.

At least I won't have to give a shit if Matt Stairs takes Jonathan Broxton deep again this month. Good ****in luck, Team USA.

Nathan was a much bigger loss than Ryan. Dunn should be fine replacing Hawpe, at least till everyone throws him 60mph junk and he leads the WBC in strikeouts. Statistically, Hanrahan and Grabow were pretty solid last year. I've got nothin' for Hawkins.
