The Toronto Blue Jays who previously denied reports that they had a contract on the table for Shannon Stewart have reported to have signed the fan favorite to a minor league contract.
There are a lot of people I know who will be very thrilled with this deal. The outfield has a fair bit of depth now, in case of an injury to an outfielder, or Overbay. It will be interesting to see how he does in camp.
On that note, why not carry a fifth outfielder every day regardless in place of the 12th man in the bullpen. I can't think of how many times I've been at a game wishing we had an extra lefty on the bench, or sitting there wondering if Frasor/Zambrano/Towers will get a chance to pitch out of the bullpen. Do away with the 12th man, JP. There are few games where you need that guy urgently, and if the bullpen gets tired, you can have Lance Carter, Brandon League, or whomever on the next Amtrak to Toronto.
