Blue Jays - Signed Wilkeron, Acquired Mench

Jays leftfielders have combined for 224/303/299, DHs for 197/295/314. Bonds could be a serial killer and still not be as unpleasant a situation for the Jays, whose GM's strategy for building the offense was to hide under a pile of jackets and just hope somehow everything would work out. It hasn't, though, and Wilkerson, who hasn't hit at all since he messed up his shoulder and Mench, who just isn't very good, aren't going to turn around the offense.
