The guy was sucking this year. He didn't deserve what he was getting this year, not alone what he would get next year. Don't get me wrong, after we shipped out Reed Johnson, Frank became my favourite player on the team, but you don't play a guy who's sucking just because he has a vesting option.
It sounds like this was best for both parties and apparently the Jays are eating his salary for this year so he really shouldn't have anything to complain about. Good luck to him, but if he thinks he should get playing time while hitting as poorly as he's been hitting he's crazy, certain future HOFer or not.
