So here it is September and rosters expand, at least for most teams. It works out well that rosters expand at this time of year because at the end of a long season players often have little injuries that kind of accumulate and since either teams are out of the race so it doesn't matter if everyday players get a day off or teams are going to the playoffs and they want to rest players. Either way extra...

A few more evening links.... The Blue Jays have some uncertainty at catcher heading into 2010, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.

Ricciardi also tells Bastian that Scott Downs and Jason Frasor could split closing duties...

Continuing the 'do as little as possible' mode that the Jays are in at the moment, they have called up David Purcey , Jeremy Accardo and Kyle Phillips .

Moving Marcum doesn't cost them anything as he wasn't going to pitch this season so it doesn't matter which list he is on. Purcey will likely fill...
