The Jays acquired Glaus, then flipped him for Rolen when the turf hurt the former's foot, because they didn't have a 3B prospect, and with Ahrens and Fuenmayor sucking in the low minors they still don't.

That's pretty much right where he's at. So I wouldn't be surprised if he kept his BABIP relatively high.
