Blue Jays' big 5th not enough as rookie struggles

NEW YORK -- Sean Reid-Foley is not a finished product. He still has a long way to go before he can be considered a bona fide Major League pitcher, but with the Blue Jays an afterthought in the American League East, they have a unique opportunity to ride the highs and lows with one of their prized assets.

Reid-Foley was hit hard, early and often in an 11-6 loss to the Yankees on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium. For a while, it looked like Reid-Foley might not even make it out of the second inning, but manager John Gibbons showed a lot of patience and seemed adamant about letting the 22-year-old righty work through his issues.
