That's dumb.

Scutaro is nothing special. He is a 33 year old SS who will put up similar numbers as Betancourt. He has a .265 career average, and about the same OPS as Betancourt.

Why is he some sort of home run?

According to the stats, he'd be a huge defensive upgrade over Betancourt. I have no idea the amount of money that Scutaro would command, however.

Scutaro has always been a utility player, and I think this is the first year he even qualifies for those defensive stats you linked because he has always played a bunch of positions. This is the first year of his career (at age 33), he has ever had an everyday spot at one position.

Dayton, FTMFW.

I'm going to wait and see on Betancourt. Anything is a upgrade over what we had. I know a few years back he was fairly well regarded.

How in the **** would we not be able to afford this turkey, then?

Another utility player? Surprised Moore wasn't pining to add him to the roster.

I don't like to use "reeruned" on this forum.

I'm sure we can afford him. That's why it doesn't make sense some of the hype he is getting in this thread. He is a career .265 hitter with little power that has never been able to lock down a position until this year on the Blue Jays. And he's 33 years old.

I'm still waiting to hear why Pete would like to have him so bad.

Not according to Dayton. Did you listen to the interview earlier today? Inking him would limit our ability to keep our other All-Stars.

I saying that figurativley of course. Nonetheless, I would take Scutaro over Bentencourt.

For one, I don't see the Blue Jays having players meetings about the bad attitude and such of Scutaro.
