Blue Jays agree with ex-Red Sox SS Gonzalez
This says that the Jays are not going to try to get Marco Scutaro back, which to me seems dumb. Yes Alex is a better fielder but Scutaro is an exceptable fielder and a better hitter. If they simply wanted defense and no pop they have McDonald who is a great fielding shortstop.Scutaro batted .282 last season and is a carrer .270 type hitter and Alex is more like a .240 hitter. Granted Alex used to hit 20 HR a year but that was back in 2004. I don’t know it might be an ok move considering they are going to lose Halladay and they might be trying to tighten up the defense up the middle but I still don’t see it as anything other than them being cheap.
