September 2, 2008 The Jays have recalled Curtis Thigpen from Triple-A Syracuse, according to the AP.
Our View:Thigpen appeared in four games with Toronto in May and June, while going 1-for-6 with no homers or RBI. He did not have a solid offensive season in the minors, and does not merit fantasy consideration for September.
June 15, 2008 Catcher Curtis Thigpen has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, according to TSN.ca. The team needed to make room on the roster for Gregg Zaun, who was activated from the DL following his bout with a right elbow injury.
Our View:Thigpen only registered six at-bats (one hit) during his brief stint with Toronto, and held no fantasy value.
May 28, 2008 The Blue Jays recalled Curtis Thigpen from Triple-A Syracuse Wednesday to replace the injured Gregg Zaun on the roster. Thigpen was hitting .228 with a homer and 18 RBI at the time of his recall.
Our View:Rod Barajas will get the majority of starts behind the plate while Zaun is out, but Thigpen should be in there a couple times per week.
July 21, 2007 The Blue Jays called up Curtis Thigpen from Triple -A, where he was hitting .285 with three homers and 20 RBI in 179 at-bats. "We want to give Thigpen a little look here and see what we got," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told the AP. Gibbons plans to give Thigpen at least two starts per week behind the plate. He could see some time at first base, as well.
July 8, 2007 The Blue Jays optioned Curtis Thigpen to Triple-A Syracuse Sunday. The move was made to clear a roster spot for Lyle Overbay, who is expected to rejoin the team after the break. Overbay has been on the 15-day disabled list since June 3, when he broke his right hand, according to the AP. Thigpen hit .270 in 37 at-bats with the Jays.
