I cant wait to see what else AA has up his sleeve for deals this off season. Right now we have too many players for the positions.
I agree, this is an upgrade for the LF position but where the hell does Bonifacio or RDavis play? Right now the OF looks like Cabrera in left, Rasmus in center and Bautista.
We havent even mentioned Anthony Gose yet. He will be back in AAA now I would assume. Same could be said for Ruben Sierra.
Bonifacio I realize can play infield and outfield. His speed will be used somewhere. Does he platoon with Izturis at 2nd base?
As it stands right now, the Jays have 1 too many starting catchers too.
The next deal or two by AA could be real interesting and should hopefully answer some of these questions.

Omg wtf lol. Let's just hope that he doesn't suck now that he's probably no longer using PEDs (maybe). He tested positive once his number skyrocketed so we'll see.
You don't think Bonifacio plays 2B and can hit .290?

The numbers won't be there if he's serving a 100 game suspension lol.
Then again if he can hit like a beast until the 62 game mark and then the rest of the team can push hard for a playoff spot maybe it'll work out lol.
As for Gose & Sierra I don't think either of them is ready for full time MLB duties anyway so I actually like the fact that they're getting pushed further and further down the depth charts.

I'm a huge fan of this signing either way. Could be a bargain.

Looks like the deal is done, Cabrera just needs to pass his physical.
This is the easy part, Melky.

I wonder where they put him in the lineup. Ideally I'd like to see him at 3 or 6. But the same can be said for Lawrie.
Let's go crazy here.
1. Reyes (speed+contact)
2. Bonifacio (speed+contact)
3. Lawrie/Cabrera (contact+ some power)
4. Bautista (power power power)
5. E5 (power power power)
6. Lawrie/Cabrera (contact+ some power)
7. Rasmus?
8. JP?
9. Whoever is DH'ing or Izturis?

The tweets I have been reading all seem to say that the Jays have found their new #2 hitter. Most of the "experts" have him pegged to be hitting in the #2 slot. Tough to say. Maybe in the #5 spot. He's a switch hitter so that offers flexibility to break up two right handed hitters in EE and Bautista but I doubt they will not hit back to back. Thats why I can see him hitting 5th. He's not a big power hitter (20 hr potential) but he hits the ball well for avg and will put the ball in play a lot.
Personally I liked Rasmus and Lawrie near the top of the order. I thought they had a lot of success there last year. Rasmus definitely hit better when he was up near the top of the order. Same could be said for Lawrie.
