Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
Two years, $16 million.
I posted this in the news thread, but I thought there could be some interesting discussion. (Link is in Spanish)

Frankly, I'm surprised he got that contract coming off of the suspension.
Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
With those miracle working hitting coaches that they have, Cabrera might increase his production after getting off the juice.
Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
Are they getting juiced Melky or reg Melky?

Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
Is there a Red's opportunity in the Jays OF. The now have Bautista, Rasmus, Bonifacio and Cabrera.
I'd love Bonifacio. But if I were the Jays, Rasmus would be the guy I'd look to move. Any interest? Classic WJ pickup?

Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
C - J.P. Arencibia/Travis d'Arnaud
1B - Adam Lind?
2B - ???
SS - Jose Reyes
3B - Bret Lawrie
LF - Melky Cabrera
CF - Colby Rasmus/Emilio Bonafacio
RF - Jose Bautista
DH - Edwin Encarnacion
Upgrade 1B and add even a halfway decent 2B and that's a potent lineup.
Mark Buehrle
Josh Johnson
Brandon Morrow
Ricky Romero (assuming last year wasn't a sign of things to come)
Kyle Drabek/Drew Hutchison
Pretty good.

Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
Considering Blue Jay hitters seem to find power that didn't exist before, I fully expect Melky to continue putting up all-star stats.

I think Bonifacio can play 2b.

Yes he can.
Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
A good time to trade for Bautista to bat cleanup and play LF for us. ;)

Are the Reds sending them Votto in return? There is no way the Reds can sign Votto long term and he is Canadian or from Dayton- one of those places.
Otherwise it is interesting to see what effect this and Hunter may have on Ludwick.
Re: Blue Jays sign Melky Cabrera
A team of juicers signs a known juicer. Fitting place for Cabrera.
