Per the Toronto Blue Jays� Twitter account, first baseman Clint Robinson was claimed off waivers today.

It seems like Toronto always claims Pirates players on waivers. I�m not sure yet how this will impact Matt Curry, who was bumped to Double-A due to Robinson, Matt Hague, and Jared Goedert playing the corner infield spots. At any rate, I don�t like the loss of Robinson. There were a few moves I would have made before designating him for assignment. Putting Charlie Morton on the 60-day disabled list was one. Designating Jeanmar Gomez for assignment and giving a bullpen spot to Bryan Morris was another. But it seemed like Morton would have been the easy call. I�d trade a few weeks of Morton on the active roster for Robinson remaining in the system.

UPDATE 3:52 PM: I just spoke with Larry Broadway. He said they don�t know yet if Curry will move up, and that �there�s a mix of five guys who could take that spot�. He did say Curry was an option.
