    Blue Jays Jays ink the man with the most ink

    The Blue Jays announced that they signed Jon Rauch to a one-year deal worth $3.5MM that includes a club option for $3.75MM in 2012.

    Rauch posted a 3.12 ERA with 7.2 K/9, 2.2 BB/9 and a 37.7% ground ball rate in 57 2/3 innings for the Twins last year. The 32-year-old has always been a fly ball pitcher. The Blue Jays play in homer-friendly Rogers Centre, but could use a dependable arm after losing Kevin Gregg and Scott Downs. Rauch has made 50 appearances or more in each of the last five seasons.

    The Blue Jays have already added Carlos Villanueva and Octavio Dotel to their bullpen this offseason.

    The Twins did not offer the Type B free agent arbitration after the season, so they will not receive a pick for losing the 6'11'' hurler. The Blue Jays do not forfeit a pick for signing Rauch.
    Its a good backup plan in case Dotel struggles. He's coming off a good year so he hopefully for Jays fans he can keep the momentum going.

    I'm disappointed to read this isn't about the Jays bringing back Justin Miller.

    I'm disappointed to read this isn't about the Jays bringing back Billy Koch.

    The Argonauts are in good hands at the moment. Toronto doesn't need another football coach.

    Why? Is Billy Koch's body tatted like Justin Miller?
