I can't say I see the point of either of these acquisitions. I guess the Jays are disappointed with Stewart, and so Wilkerson. He certainly isn't going to take time from Wells or Rios. Is Wilkerson an upgrade from Stewart, though? And I guess Mench means that the Jays aren't happy with Barajas either. Still, how much of an upgrade is this?
One of the signings has to be an admission that the Shannon Stewart experiment has been a huge mistake. But hey, you get what you pay for (and karma is a bitch). JP has treated him terribly, Reed has to be glad that he was released.
Wilkerson is apparently going to be lead off hitter tonight... not exactly your prototypical lead off, but at least Rios is out of that spot.
