Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen
Friday, May 09, 2008
Blue Jays - Signed Wilkeron, Acquired Mench
Toronto Blue Jays - Signed OF Brad Wilkerson; acquired OF Kevin Mench for cash considerations.
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.

Mench, making the minimum this year, is a nice lefty-basher picked up on the cheap.
The illegitimate son of Brad Wilkerson & Peter Bergeron...
