Blue Jays Sign Julio Izturis
By Mike Axisa [November 22 at 6:35pm CST]
THURSDAY: The Jays actually signed Julio Izturis, rather than Cesar, reports Mike Cormack of Sportsnet.ca. *So, to date, only two of the three Izturis brothers are members of the Blue Jays organization (Maicer and Cesar are half-brothers). *Julio is a 23-year-old infielder who last appeared in pro ball with the Giants' Low-A affiliate in 2011.
WEDNESDAY: The Blue Jays have signed Cesar Izturis to a minor league contract, reports Baseball America's Matt Eddy (on Twitter). The veteran infielder is a Peter E. Greenberg & Associates client.
Izturis, 32, hit .241/.254/.343 with two homers in 173 plate appearances for the Brewers and Nationals this season while playing the three non-first base infield positions. He originally started his career with the Blue Jays, who signed him as a amateur free agent out of Venezuela back in 1996. Toronto signed his half-brother Maicer to a three-year contract earlier this offseason.

Depth.
Have to have it. If someone gets injured, having someone with ML experience to step up is important.

I still think the signing of Ismail Rogers was the biggest this off-season
