Jays picked up Lyle Overbay and didn't have to give up very much to do it. Overbay is an upgrade at first over Hillenbrand who will slide into the DH roll. They still have Aaron Hill and Eric Hinske without homes in the infield and have John McDonald as the backup. I don't think J.P. is done dealing yet.

The Jays are still looking for 1 more bat. They've been in talks to get Wilkerson (now with the Rangers) or Mench or look at FAs like Piazza and Nomar.

Rogers

I think he can still pitch but what an a-hole. Glad it's just a two-year deal. He's got the breaking ball still curling for an old guy, a la Frank Tanana.

Re: Official MLB offseason moves thread

The Jays just signed Bengie Molina to complete their offseason signing/trading spree. I know I'm a bit biased being a Jays fan, but damn, what an offseason!

I don't think any other team came close to upgrading their team as much as the Jays did.

A.J. Burnett - a solid front of the rotation starter with good stuff. Gives Jays a solid rotation of Halladay, Burnett, Lilly, Chacin and Towers.

B.J. Ryan - a flame throwing closer. An upgrade over now departed Batista.

Lyle Overbay - a solid gap hitter. Upgrade over Hinske, and defensive upgrade over Hillenbrand, allowing Shea to move to DH.

Troy Glaus - huge power threat missing since Delgado. Upgrade over now departed Koskie.

John MacDonald - defensive specialist to help mentor a young middle infield. Veteran utility player.

Bengie Molina - solid 2 time gold glove winning catcher to platoon with Greg Zaun.

The Tigers re-signed Casey to a 1 year deal.
