JP should offer him a contract. He hit .299 with 12 home runs and 48 RBIs, while also stealing 11 bases.
I think he'd be a great fit leading off and getting on base. This is something the Jays are lacking. He could replace Johnson in left.
He'd also be fairly cheap.
Thoughts?

Pro's
1. He's always been able to hit
2. We know he can hit at the Dome
3. Gets on base from the leadoff position
4. Having Wells and Rios means that we can afford to sacrifice a little D in LF
Con's
1. He really can't stay healthy
2. He's another right handed bat... any hitters coming in IMO need to be lefties
3. I'm not sure he is even a passable LF at this point (even with Wells and Rios)
In the end, there are probably better options out there (Johnson being one of them).
