Gustavo Chacín on the DL

Gustavo Chacín's promising young career has been hampered by yet another injury.

After spending more than two months on the disabled list with an elbow injury last season, Chacín has landed back on the DL with a left shoulder strain.

You Drink, You Drive, You SUCK!

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Gustavo Chacin got kinda drunk Friday night. Then, like an idiot, drove his car. He got busted: arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

The real question is, was he wearing those sweet shades?

Chacin was stopped by Tampa police early Friday morning and registered a blood-alcohol content of .150 and .152 in two consecutive readings. He actually became more intoxicated just standing there. The state limit is .08, so he was booked for a misdemeanor and released from jail on a $500 bond.

GM J.P. Ricciardi and manager John Gibbons are both 100% behind Chacin. "He made a mistake and we want to work with him, not against him," said Ricciardi.

The left-hander went 9-4 last season with a 5.05 ERA, but missed more than two months due to problems with his elbow. Chacin is 23-14 in 53 career outings.

Jays Get Down to Business

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to terms on one-year contracts with 20 players on Sunday, including left-hander Gustavo Chacin and his sweet shades.

The 26-year-old starter was 9-4 with a 5.05 ERA in 17 starts last season, which was cut short due to elbow surgery. As a 2005 rookie, he was 13-9 with a 3.72 ERA in 203 innings over 34 starts.

The Jays also inked Aaron Hill to a one-year deal. The 24-year-old, who is expected to be Toronto's Opening Day second baseman, hit .291 with six home runs and 50 RBIs last season, his second in the big leagues.
