Nice find. I remember seeing his name of Fangraphs 25 Best Free Agents list. The contract numbers beside him are what they think a good signing would be worth.

18. Maicer Izturis, IF: 2 years, $10 million

I’m pretty sure this is the only Top Free Agent list you’ll see Maicer Izturis on, since he’s an aging utility player coming off a poor season, but for a team that has 400 plate appearances and a weak starting infielder at either second or third, Izturis could be a valuable 10th guy. From 2009 to 2011, he was basically a league average hitter who could handle all three IF positions, and while everything got worse last year, we’re dealing with a half season’s worth of playing time. The larger sample of Izturis’ career peg him as a great part-time guy who won’t kill you if he has to play regularly. $5 million a year for roster flexibility and depth is worth it for a team with some resources.


The biggest problem I've found with Jays fans (among my friends and family) is that any player that is signed is expected to be the next Robbie Alomar.
