after five years of ups, downs, and batting glove adjustments, Reed Johnson has been released from the Toronto Blue Jays. this paves the way for a Matt Stairs/Shannon Stewart left field platoon. i was never sure who i wanted to platoon with stairs, Stewart has the ability to hit both righties and lefties, while reed has a cannon and plays great defense. i trust gibby's decision and love stewart but it's sad to see reed drive away into the sunset. especially if he's driving his Shelby Cobra:
cheers
