What happened to Brandon League?

Even more than Blow Jay Ryan aka B.J. Ryan, Brandon League has been the biggest bust in the Jays 2009 season. What has gotten into him, is he hurt? A trip to the disabled list might be in his future. Or has he simply lost his confidence? Either way, after Friday's pathetic performance against the Athletics, the team likely has no faith in him going forward...

It truly is a shame too, because League seemed to be ready to bust out to be an integral part of the Jays already stout bullpen. However, the 2001 second round draft pick has flamed out thus far. He took the loss, coughing up 3 runs in the 7th & 8th innings against the Athletics. In just 6 innings of work, League has issued 6 earned runs. That is simply awful. A demotion to AAA, or, as previously mentioned, a visit to the disabled list might be in store for the young flamethrower. What a shame...
