According to the L.A. Times, The Los Angeles Dodgers decided not to offer arbitration to potential Type-A free agent, and former Blue Jay, Orlando Hudson. Hudson was among the Dodgers' seven ranked free agents who were not offered arbitration on Tuesday, MLB's deadline day for teams to do so.
Quite the puzzling scenario obviously. As Jays fans we have all read about and understood the reasoning behind offer arbitration to ranked free agents (ie. Marco Scutaro, Rod Bajaras) and receiving potential draft pick compensation should they decide to decline arbitration and sign elsewhere.
Suddenly, Hudson appears a lot more attractive to potential suitors as a free agent who no longer would cost draft pick compensation to sign.
The Toronto Blue Jays should take a page out of the Red Sox book, and consider switching Aaron Hill back to his natural position of SS and bringing Hudson back to man 2B.
Oh wait, I forgot for a sec that we already solved our SS problem.
Oh wait, I thought for a sec we were a contender... well never mind, sorry A.A. it seemed like a good idea.
BRING BACK THE O-DOG!!
