A Barajas By Any Other Name Stills Sucks As Bad

According to Jayson Stark, the Jays have just signed John Buck to a $2mil/1year contract. Buck currently rocks a .235/.298/.407 career line. That's actually slightly better than Barajas' .238/.284/.408 line, but Buck can't throw out baserunners to save his life (career CS% of 26%). If he's anything more than a backup (or, worst case, platoon partner for Kyle Phillips) next year, I might just have to staple my eyelids closed just to save myself from the horror of having to watch this team.
