Jays have too many outfielders and they dump Wells' huge salary and Napoli can play 1st base while Lind plays in Left, Bautista in right. I'm just wondering who we put in center. But apparently we're putting Lind at first. Napoli is a great catcher though. Either way we will have space for...

Even f it's for the best of the Jays, I'm really going to miss Vernon. He's been a Jay since I started watching baseball and he's been a real leader for us. I'm sure some Jays fans will be happy but I'll miss Vernon...
Great intro as it really shows us what type of personality you are! Props to that. Anyways, welcome, hope you'll develop into one of our regular posters and of course join the NBA Sim League.
It's not his power. You can certainly tell that by his body size. You don't think he just hit 54 homeruns from gaining muscle do you? He changed his mechanics. He changed his swing for the 2010 season and apparently he worked with some sort of coach over the summer. He has had clutch moments...
It's a risk to sign him now and it will be a risk to sign him later. I'm convinced with Bautista though. His mechanics are the reason he was so good last season and he can play so many different positions.
He's really good live singing. His songs are obviously autotuned, almost every artist will edit their voice like that but he still has a natural singing voice which is above average.
I'm still very happy to have a guy like Vernon in Toronto though and I wouldn't mind him retiring here. He is very loyal and he is still a good guy to have in the line-up and on the field. He's a great leader too.

I don't think this would be a bad idea depending on how long and how much the contract is. He could help our younger hitters and he is a great guy to have in the clubhouse I'd say.
