First of all - let's recap what I've said...

"FA's the need to be re-signed - ... Henry Blanco - A better backup catcher cannot be found."

"Right now, the need is a bat. The Cubs will tell you they need a left handed bat. I would argue that they need a bat that can hit righties as well as lefties."

I know this is crazy stuff....so what actually happened -

Blanco signs with the Padres.
Paul Bako signs with the Cubs.

Blanco is right handed.
Bako bats left handed.
