Toronto signs some Ponce

Fly like an Eagle. To Toronto.

He played in Pittsburgh, he played in Japan, he dominated Korea last year. Can he do the same here? Well, he developed a Yesavage-type curve/changeup/dipsy-doodle before the Korean season by working out with Pittsburgh pal Clay Holmes. It's also reported that he had to learn a new grip to better accommodate his hands, which are bigly. That's a new one. Guess his massive mitts couldn't effectively find their way around a baseball. 

Regardless, his stats from Korea are ridiculous. I think the article said a 1.79 ERA. Of course, it was Korea. So who knows.

But, but, but...this potentially gives Toronto a pretty solid six-man rotation. While we'll have three guys back from surgery (crapshoots all). Plus Fried, Schlittler and Warren.

It seems so quintessentially Cashman.

Who, of course, has done nothing so far. But I'll give him a break. I mean, we only need a bullpen, a starter or two for if/when the crapshoots turn out crappy (Cole will not be Cole and neither will Rodon), a third baseman who can hit (you know, like the one we traded for Dopey Devin), a real shortstop, a reliable left fielder and a catcher who can hit.

Plenty of time, plenty of time...
