Blue Jays snag Giants pitcher in Rule V draft

NASHVILLE - Will right-hander Chad Jenkins be on the Blue Jays roster opening night April 3 at Tropicana Field?

No one knows for sure right now.

Know this, we know that the Blue Jays bulked up on the final day of the 114th winter meetings selecting right-hander Joe Biagini from the San Francisco Giants for $50,000. Biagini will either be at Tropicana wearing a Jays uniform opening night or back in the Giants organization.

Biagini, 25, was 10-7 with a 2.42 ERA in 22 starts in 23 appearances for the double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels. He walked 34 and struck out 84 in 1301/3 innings.
