I think Koskie had to go.
I say this even though I expect Koskie to have a much better year coming up.
He was brought in last year as a "leader" and he tried to fulfill that role despite the cold bat and the injuries. It would be difficult to do the personality shift required to become an expensive yet not disruptive role player.
Jays eliminate a potential "chemistry" issue and save a few million for what should otherwise be a good spring.
