J.P. Arencibia, back in bigs, back in Toronto this weekend

There was always a lot of swing-and-miss to his game, but when he connected he could drive the ball a mile.
Arencibia is one of the story lines this weekend as he returns in a Tampa Bay uniform for what will be the Jays' final home series of the regular season. During the series, the Jays could clinch a playoff spot for the first time since their 1993 World Series victory.
It has been a dusty road for Arencibia of late, but now he's back in the bigs and at times runs into a ball.
