The Blue Jays are taking a chance on Vladimir Guerrero, but thats no guarantee the former MVP will ever pull on a Toronto uniform. Josh Sitton Jersey . That was the message from Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who tried to downplay signing Guerrero to a minor league contract Thursday. "This isnt someone right now that were prepared to say is going to be up in Toronto," Anthopoulos said on a conference call. "I have no idea how hes going to look, how hes going to perform, how hes going to play." The 37-year-old Dominican, who will start an extended spring training program in Dunedin, Fla., hit .290 with 13 home runs and 63 RBIs in 145 games with the Baltimore Orioles last season. If Guerrero eventually cracks Torontos lineup, the six-foot-three, 235-pound designated hitter could bring some power to the Jays. If he doesnt, Anthopoulos can walk away from what is essentially a low-risk signing worth a pro-rated US$1.3 million with no timeline for a callup, no out clauses, no guaranteed dollars. "I dont think anybody can go into the signing and know what to expect other than why not take a shot? See if theres anything there if theres no downside," he said. The deal is similiar to the one Toronto signed outfielder Scott Podsednik to last season. Podsednik played in the minors but was released by the Jays last May. Guerrero was signed undrafted by the Montreal Expos in 1993. Hes a nine-time all star who was named the American Leagues MVP with the Anaheim Angels in 2004. In a 16-year major league career he has a .318 batting average with 477 doubles, 46 triples, and 1,496 runs batted in. Guerreros 449 home runs ties him for 35th on the all-time list with Jeff Bagwell. There had been talks between the Jays and Guerreros agent during spring training, but Anthopoulos said the deal stalled then died when Guerrero changed agencies. "Theres no downside but it does give us options if things come up," said Anthopoulos. "And if not, were not going to hold him back. If theres not room for him here, if theres not a spot for him here, either way hell have an opportunity to go somewhere else." Provided the Dominican slugger makes it out of training, his next step would be a stint with single-A Dunedin before either moving up to the Jays affiliates in New Hampshire or Las Vegas. The signing comes as star outfielder Jose Bautista and first baseman Adam Lind have both struggled in the young season, with Lind being dropped from the cleanup spot during the Jays current road trip. But Anthopoulos wasnt willing to speculate what Guerreros addition would mean for Torontos lineup. At this point, he isnt even sure what position Guerrero could play, or that he can play at all. "Well get to lay eyes on him," said Anthopoulos. "Well see what kind of shape he is. Well see how he moves. Well take a look in the outfield, well take a look at DH. Well just see what we have."
