Veteran slugger Matt Stairs has put talks on a contract extension with the Blue Jays on hold until after the season, in part to avoid distractions but also to better assess his potential role in 2008.

in all truth, he's a great guy in the clubhouse, and he has produced a great deal considering his role on the team and the number of opportunities he had. I know he's no star, but the Jays would be a better team if they kept him on - and of course, he's a fan favourite up here because he's Canadian

I think he must be insane....

He's 39 and let's face it, a guy who has spent his career mostly on the bubble with a wide group of teams.

Now he has one that wants to sign him up for next year and he wants to wait.....

Hey Matt? It's the Jays or some kind of sales job in the insurance or automotive field next year......

Stairs goal of playing for every major-league team is clearly a reasonable one...SLUGGER, you know, that FanNation has pegged him as.
Love the plowhorse comment...
