You've Got a New Horizon, It's Ephemeral Style / A Melancholy Town Where We Never Smile
This fangraphs piece takes a look at the Jays' organizational depth at first base and it is nice to read about how much improved the position is. This had previously been a black hole in the Jays organizational system so it's great to see that the Jays recognized a problem and addressed it.
The newest Jay is Randy Ruiz, career minor-leaguer and mostly DH who spent some time with the Twins last season. He has put up some good minor-league numbers, particularly in the power department. Though his power isn't really expected to translate to the majors (Marcel has him projected at just .268/.339/.411), he would've been better than what we were running out last season so it can't hurt.
Apparently Cabrera's deal with the Nats is for $2.6 million base and 1 year. Teams have certainly payed more for less, but Cabrera is coming off an awful season and has never had a good one.
Today's title comes from "Feel Good Inc" by the Gorrilaz, the weirdest and best side project ever. It seemed to fit. Enjoy your Sundays, everyone!

It is kind of nice to see we have some power on the way....
Wonder what the odds of Dopirak seeing some DH time in Toronto this year are?
