Looks like the Jays have found a replacement for Gregg Zaun. Not a bad signing at all if you ask me. I thought he would return to SD but it looks like he will be going north. He fouled a ball off his face last year which made him miss the final three months of the season. The Jays also signed Matt Clement who took a line drive off the face and was never the same. Hopefully Barrett can come back.ESPN is reporting that the Blue Jays have signed Michael Barrett to a minor league contract.
This could work out quite well if Barrett is healthy. Barrett is a better hitter versus lefties than first baseman Lyle Overbay or the Jays' current options at DH, so the Jays could have both he and Rod Barajas in the lineup a couple of times per week if they choose.
