Brixton
Why? They already have Goins
jdubs
Because A) Travis isn’t going to be ready for opening day and B) we need depth and Barney is great defensively

He’ll be the back-up infielder. Devon Travis won’t be recovered from his surgery for the start of the season so they need somebody, anybody better than Clownasaki.
loxcane
Travis is out until like June… so it makes a lot of sense to get someone that has a good glove and can play either 2B or SS, though it would appear more likely to see Goins be the one that would fill in at short if Tulo needed a day off or got hurt.

He’s not much

Wow, thanks head office. I must admit with all the other teams stocking up ( Cubs, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Red Sox ) it’s nice to see the Jays keeping pace with integral moves like this. A great way to spend Great Canadian Dollar Store style.

He’s a serviceable bench piece to be the 3rd middle infielder until Travis is back. They needed to get someone but not break the bank on a guy who wouldn’t play 2 months into the season. What did you expect them to do sign Zobrist for those 2 months?

Would you be appeased if they signed Bastardo and Sipp? The Jays need lefty relievers (after the postseason fiasco) and they wouldn’t break the bank.
Baseballholic
I was surprised the jays didn’t pick a lhp in the RV today, ( As well as the rhp they did: he might be a stay). But yes, Sipp would be a great add for the BP. and, according to a sports journalist here in toronto, the Gm is saying they are not done. So we may get another addition or two….although, I am thinking a free agent starter.
jdubs
Do you pay attention at all? They are looking for bullpen help and starting rotation depth (for AAA) but sharpio I guess cares about the win and lose record at AAA more than the MLB
Baseballholic
Can Club rhetoric?
jdubs
Thank Rogers for opening their bank accounts too… One of the richest companies in Canada and we let Price walk, ridiculous. But that being said I like this signing
Frank Richard
He provides great defense at second, short, and third. Nice utility guy for late inning defense.
Baseballholic
This is an excellent sign by the Jays.
jaysfan77
I agree, it is, very good bench piece, great defence at different infield positions.
Baseballholic
I agree. Barney is a solid baseball player and i anticipate good things from him. And wait til he has a full year under the tutelage of Mr. Jacoby and Mr.Owens

I like this move, but I have to admit, Toronto needs to make some noise this offseason. A lot of their best players have already peaked, with odds being against them bringing back both EE and JBau for 2017 and beyond. I would love us to sign Heyward or Leake, even a couple decent bullpen pieces would do
Mark 20
Nice signing I guess. Serves as a depth piece until travis is back. Wonder what we do with him after?
