Blu Jays bring back Kawasaki on a minor-league deal

On Tuesday, the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to re-sign INF Munenori Kawasaki. The Blue Jays signed him to a minor-league deal with an invite to Spring Training the team announced. Kawasaki will serve as Toronto's utility infielder.

Kawasaki played the 2013 season with the Blue Jays and hit .229. He does have some speed as he recorded 5 triples and 7 stolen bases. Kawasaki is a really great shortstop only committing 5 errors in 98 games played at the position.

I think Kawasaki will serve more as a defensive substitute but does add some speed off the bench.
