Melky Cabrera 'in the best shape of his life'

Normally I ignore the 'player X came to camp in great shape stuff' but, in this case, I'm going to take any good news I can get:

Gibbons expects Melky Cabrera to be back to normal after surgery last yr to remove tour on spine. Reports say MC in good shape.

More on Melky. Says he hasn't lost a lot of weight but turned what he had into muscle. Says he's in best shape of his life. #BlueJays

I really want to believe this, left field was a black hole for us last year (and the year before). Last year our left fielders hit .259/.309/.358, with 10 home runs.  A healthy Melky would be a big improvement.

I have no idea what to expect from Melky. Offensively, he's the one I have no clue about. Zips has him hitting .290/.329/.433 with 12 home runs. After last year, I'd take that and be happy.

Melky is going to be the one I watch the most this spring. It is a big year for him, he's a free agent after the season and, if it goes like last year, I doubt he'll be able to find another major league contract.

What do you expect from Melky this year?
