Under former general manager J.P. Ricciardi, the Blue Jays weren't aggressive on the international market, but that changed in their first year with Alex Anthopoulos at the helm. Toronto handed a $10 million big league deal to Cuban defector Adeiny Hechavarria and spent another $3.5 million on bonuses for Venezuelans Adonis Cardona and Cenas. In a workout for international prospects, Cenas was the only hitter who wasn't overmatched by Cardona. Signed for $700,000, Cenas is precocious in his ability to get the barrel on the ball and smoke line drives. He's still growing into his power but could develop into a 20-25 home run threat. He's a fringe-average runner who will slow down as he gets bigger and stronger. Cenas has an above-average arm and should be able to remain at third base. He'll probably begin 2011 in the Dominican Summer League.
