Blue Jays designate Beck for assignment

The Blue Jays have announced that they have designated pitcher Chad Beck for assignment to create roster space for Bobby Wilson, who was recently claimed off of waivers from the Angels.

Beck spent most of the 2012 season in Triple-A, posting a 1.31 ERA in 48 relief innings. He originally joined Toronto's organization in 2008 as part of the David Eckstein trade.

Analysis: Beck's Triple-A numbers look really solid, but he hasn't really gotten a chance to prove himself at the big league level. I wouldn't be surprised to see a team claim him, but since players often, or in this case; not often, translate their minor league numbers to the big leagues, I can also understand if he clears waivers.
