With just seven days to go before Opening Day (w00t!) it's time to put some life back into The Baseball Files! During the off-season I continued to follow trades and rumors on other blogs, but was too caught up with other things to be posting commentary. All this changes today with some Toronto baseball news:

Toronto has been selected to host first round games of the 2009 WBC! March 5-9, games will go down between Canada, USA, Venezuela and Italy. If I felt like doubling the travel time, I could catch games in Tokyo instead of Toronto, which is also hosting first round action. I would LOVE to be part of a baseball crowd in Japan!

Ouch, this hurts! Newly acquiried Jays 3B Scott Rolen broke his finger in a fielding drill yesterday. He is out indefinitely. Marco Scutaro will fill in for the time being.
