Lightbulb Goodbye Lourdes

After looking at the team, prior to free agent filings, it appeared obvious we had no need for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. anymore.

We were playing him in RF and after 1400 MLB plate appearances his OPS was .738.

His brother is arb eligible also, but will be non-tendered.

So I shopped Lourdes around and the Yankees offered up Albert Abreu. I was going to trade him back to the Jays, but you can never have too much pitching.

Both our scout and OSA give Abreu ratings of 70 for 3 pitchers (fastball, curve and change). I am going to give him a shot in the rotation, but worst case scenario he is a late game relief option.

He has one option remaining, less than 1 year of service time and just turned 25.

Also, we were able to add "Kyle Zurak". He is a (soon to be) 26 year old reliever with 3 star potential and 3 above average pitches. He only has 8 innings in AA so far, I am going to start him in AAA and see how he makes out.
