Tough break for Josh Towers as he is going to miss another start because of soreness in his shoulder. In his spot Ryan Glynn will pitch. Towers has pitched well of late and was getting close to cementing a spot in the rotation for next year. Now, I don't see him getting more than a minor league deal as JP won't want to spend more than the minimum for him. Halladay, Lilly, Batista and Bush have the first 4 spots guaranteed and there is a crop of young guys coming up very soon who will be competing for the final spot. Plus, JP is a master at finding cheap talented players (who do you think brought Towers to Toronto in the first place?) to plug holes. Finally, I think Justin Miller is a better pitcher anyway so he'll now probably get the first shot.
