Hunter Says Bonds Would Fit In Toronto

Angels outfielder Torii Hunter believes that free-agent slugger Barry Bonds would fit into the lineup of the Toronto Blue Jays, according to TSN in Canada.

Hunter expressed his opinion while appearing on TSN's "Off The Record" on Wednesday.

"I think Barry Bonds is a big pick up for a lot of teams," Hunter told host Michael Landsberg when asked about recent rumors suggesting the home run king might fit in Toronto. "If we needed a DH, I think Barry Bonds would be a great fit. I mean, he's one of the best hitters in the game. Why not have him?"

Hunter was then asked what kind of effect Bonds might have on the clubhouse in Toronto.

"I think he'd be a good fit. It's a different scene, a different clubhouse. That's Vernon Wells' clubhouse, you've got to respect that.. Trust me, he's a great guy, I know him pretty well. I think he's a pretty good guy in his own way. You've just got to get to know Barry," Torii added.

Asdrubal Cabrera Turns Unassisted Triple Play

Cleveland second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera turned the 14th unassisted triple play in Major League Baseball history on Monday night in the team's 3-0 loss to Toronto, according to The Associated Press.

Cabrera made a diving catch of a line drive off the bat of Lyle Overbay, touched second base, and then quickly tagged Marco Scutaro to complete the feat in the fifth inning.

"I was trying to speed up the game," Overbay joked. "I get to go down in history. They can't take that away from me."

"He flipped it into the stands and right as he did cried out, 'Oh, no!'" first-base Coach Luis Rivera said.

"I knew it was pretty special," Cabrera said.

Troy Tulowitzki turned the last unassisted triple play for the Rockies on April 29, 2007.
