Only surprise there is that Quantrill played just six seasons with the Jays...seemed like he was here forever.

You know the classic,

1. Do something
2. ???
3. Profitz!

I think the Jays just identified #2 in every circumstance.

1. Acquire a buttload of new talent.
2. Sign Quantrill to a fake job
3. Profit!

But if you have Quantril at 2, you can do anything at 1 and it leads to profit at 3.
