Alert!  Alert!  The Blue Jays signed Alex Gonzalez for 2.75 million for 2010.  You’re probably thinking “Is that the Alex who played for the Jays in the ’90′s?”.   The answer is NO.

    This Alex Gonzalez played for Boston & Cincinnati last year.  His offense is pitiful, although not as bad as John McDonald’s.  Speaking of Johnny Mac, the Jays signed him for two years.  So now they have to defensive shortstops with little offense.   I know that MacDonald can play third, but he didn’t overly impress me at that position last season.

    With the signing of Gonzalez, means the end of Scutaro.  That is ok.  Marco will probably be making 6-8 million next season and as the Jays are rebuilding, they do not need that expense.

Halladay Rumours:  As we all know, Doc is on the trade block.  Several teams are in the hunt, including the Angels & Dodgers.  Apparently the Red Sox are at the forefront.  But it all depends on who gives up the most.  I personally think that Halladay will be in another uniform at the start of the 2010 season.

   It will be a sad day when he is traded.

Thanks for reading and bye for now.
