Coats could get called on: The Toronto Star reports that the Blue Jays might be looking for a right-handed hitter to complement Matt Stairs in the DH spot -- especially with a glut of left-handed pitchers coming up on the schedule. Brad Wilkerson, who is left-handed but hits left-handers very well, was given his unconditional release by the Mariners on Thursday. "We're looking for someone who can serve us in a role that helps us do some things. I'm going to keep it vague. ... It's all pending on some things I can't say right now," Ricciardi said. "By (Friday), we'll have something, whether externally or internally." (Updated 05/09/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The Red Sox have also expressed interest in Wilkerson, so he might latch on with a new team before too long. He hasn't batted over .250 since 2004. He could be AL-only useful again at some point. Buck Coats, Russ Adams and Hector Luna remain options for the Jays at Triple-A Syracuse. (Updated 05/09/2008).
