I hate to break it to you, but if he's healthy, he is going to be IN the line up a lot more than he won't be, more than likely. Especially if they don't bring in another OFer.

He's more like a Tapia replacement, and he is a pretty big upgrade on Tapia so that's good.
Maybe, however Tapia was a 4th outfielder who played due to injuries

If the Jays want to contend, they need to bring in a bigger name outfielder who is left handed and hit for average and produce.

Player signed is fast, good defensively, however he is going to have a low average...
