moving day

Fred Lewis put up good numbers at Triple-A Fresno on a rehab assignment to start the season. And the San Francisco Giants rewarded the former Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College star by trading him to Toronto today for a player to be named or cash. Lewis had a breakout season, or so it seemed, in 2008 when he hit .282 with nine home runs, 11 triples, 21 steals and 40 RBIs as the Giants’ everyday left fielder. But he slumped in 2009, hitting just .258 with diminished power numbers, and he also played erratically in the field. He had a lackluster spring and then suffered a ribcage injury that forced the Giants to put him on the disabled list to start the season. He hit .409 with six RBIs at Fresno. It’s not clear how Lewis fits into Toronto’s picture; the Blue Jays appear fairly set in the outfield with Vernon Wells, Adam Lind, Jose Bautista and Travis Snider.
