Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, who
was acquired in a trade with the Miami Marlins earlier this offseason, could be
available, reports David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
#Braves interested in Bonifaciobefore got traded by MIA (Fredi G. had him w/Marlins), didn't know til this wk he might still be available

The Blue Jays acquired Bonifacio in the mega-deal with the
Marlins that also shipped Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes to Toronto.
While he could be an everyday second baseman for the club, the Blue Jays also
have Maicer Izturis on their roster. For this reason they may be more willing
to listen to offers for Bonifacio.
The Atlanta Braves had expressed interest in Bonifacio

if Toronto does decide to start shopping him.
Last season for the Marlins Bonifacio hit...

For me the problem comes in the catching department. Toronto has prospect Travis d’Arnaud, who if he can stay healthy...
Rumor Mill: Blue Jays might make a package deal for Dickey
Jim Duquette of MLB.com hears that the Blue Jays are one of the "serious suitors" for R.A. Dickey.
Duquette says that the Jays would send J.P. Arencibia and "others" to the Mets in the deal. Arencibia would make sense given that the Mets need catching help, but they would surely seek a better player as the headliner of a deal if they decide to trade...
2012 Positional Ranking: LH Starters
Obviously the very top of this list looks different than it would have a month ago, when Justin Nicolino would have been the clear #1. Still the guy who inherits the top spot is deserving, and a rising star in the Blue Jays system.
