Russ Moore Adams (born August 30, 1980 in
Laurinburg, North Carolina) is a middle infielder
for the Toronto Blue Jays. Adams bats left-handed
and throws with his right hand. He played shortstop
before being optioned to the Jays' Triple-A
affiliate, the Syracuse Chiefs on May 25, 2006
(along with Josh Towers). On June 12, 2006, he was
recalled by the Blue Jays after playing 17 games for
Syracuse. After having trouble with the bat since
his call up, and due to teammate Aaron Hill's
struggles at short, he was removed as the second
baseman, with Hill switching over to second and
utility man John McDonald taking the shortstop role
previously occupied by Hill. He was optioned back to
Syracuse on July 30 so that he could receive more
playing time.
