The rest of his career was up and down, but he had an 11-year career and was an excellent defensive center fielder.
Cito had strengths and weaknesses as a manager. He let his players play. He didn’t try to impress us with managerial moves. He didn’t like the bunt.

In 2005 he made 13 starts and 13 relief appearances, finishing with a 4-3 record and a 4.31 ERA for the Jays. In 2006 he was moved to the pen, full time except for five spot starts. In 59 games, he was 6-2, 1 save, and a 4.09 ERA.
