Wait a minute...

So we're talking about signing Tomo Ohka and Brian Lawrence, both at least somewhat reclamation projects (I was wrong about Ohka's injury not being serious, he's got a torn rotator cuff that he's elected to rehab instead of having the surgery that Lawrence had) for what I would assume is a considerable sum of money, meanwhile the Blue Jays sign John Thomson for what amounts to $1.5 million if he makes the Opening Day roster (and only $500,000 if he doesn't). I suppose we'll wait and see what kind of contracts DL is offering Ohka and Lawrence, but my gut says it's more than that.
