John Farrell would not comment on a report that Adam Lind was place on outright waivers by the Blue Jays. "I'm not aware of that," the manager said. "I know he was optioned, beyond that, that's a confidential procedure. I'm aware of the reports that are out there, but I'm not aware anything beyond the option to Las Vegas." Lind's contract pays him $5 million this year and next and includes three club options that guarantee him another $3.5 million. Farrell spoke as if Lind will remain a part of the organization and identified what has been plaguing him. "There was a plan taken to the plate, and yet I think that plan swung to the side of being overly selective that took away that edge," Farrell said. "That assertiveness or that aggressiveness when he was in hitter's counts -- then it was a matter of looking for a fastball in a certain area and making an impact. "I think, as this season started to unfold, there were some thoughts that were in there when he was at the plate. Whether it was looking for certain pitches or trying to see a number of pitches. As we mentioned before, that pendulum swung too far in one direction."
