Jays need a veteran outfielder

Jays need a veteran position player because the more veteran position like raddell Grichuk and travis shaw r not really veteran even world series champ joe pani has only 2400 at bats.


The best place for a veteran player is the outfield so there could b a general who can take charge out there because Teoscar Hernández looks lost out there misreading balls of the opponents bats or not playing balls correctly along with base running errors. Teoscar would probably be DHing more if vald jr had come back in the same kind of shape he was in during spring training when he back from the virus break. He is hitting better but i do not know how look he will have that kind of patience at the plate.


Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is a second basman turned outfielder who struggles in the outfield because it is not his natural position and when he struggles in the outfield he usually struggles at the plates which is a double whammy.


 Teoscar Hernández would b a younger player that i would diffidently a chance on trading him as another team might look at his production and say that would b a great bat in r lineup. Willing to give up a veteran outfielder that would b able to help the jays make less bone headed plays during game that has helped the jays lose games.


Jays have a good chance at the playoffs as it is the jays orioles rangers and whit soxs fighting for two spots and would b an experience for the young jays but continuing to learn how to hitting meaning less violent swings and more balls in play is more important.


go jays go

the toronto blue jays has the best setup for this crazy baseball season

because the restrictions set by the canadian government the blue jays will b the safest situation in major league baseball as they r only b able to go from the hotel @ rogers centre and the field @ rogers centre. So that they r going 2 b staying inside for the time they r in canada where they will hopefully play 30 games of their 60 games in 66 games.

Blue jays players need to wrap their heads around that they r staying @ THE ROGERS CENTRE while in canada and just forget about those places they have paid for but will not b using. If blue jays decide to leave the rogers centre they will b fined 750,000 and maybe jail time but not likely.

The big problem will b the other teams coming in who have their own virus control rules and may not b willing to follow the canadian rules and bring the virus into the rogers centre,

The players hang out and living in the states and the info they get is misleading  and they probably a false sense of security.

Who knows what the blue jays restriction when they go back south and if they test positive before they come back north they will b stuck in the states until they test negative again.

GO JAYS GO

jose bautista stay in toronto is over and it was a dream

Jose Bautista start his long and successful journey in Toronto in 2008 with 56 atbats and 3 homers and 10 rbis. It was a very slow start with 3 homers in 2009 before September but then fireworks  were set off and the rest was history making with 10 homers and 27 rbis in September. 2010 was like usher said o my god 54 homers and 124 rbis and batting average .260 and .378 obp and was 4 in mvp voting behind winner josh Hamilton. He then took it the next level in 2011 with a .302 batting average and .447 with 43 homers and 103 rbis and finished 3 in mvp voting behind Justin verlander.

He had set his name in jays history with 97 homers and 227 rbis in two seasons and he was not the healthy next 3 seasons with 92 games, 118 games, and a hurt arm 155 games which hurt his throwing in 2014 but his homers still being strong with 27,28, and 35 in 2012, 2013,  and 2014 respectively.

Then came the best seasons the jays have had since 1992-93 when they won the AL east in 2015 and beating the Texas Rangers in 5 games with the bat flip heard around the world in th 7th inning of the deciding game to break a 3-3 tie and the jays a 6-3 victory.and then losing to the kc royals in 6. Then in 2016 the jays hosted the wildcard game against the orioles and then beat the Rangers in a 3-game sweep and lost to the Indians in 5 games.

He did go out with a whimper fighting with keeping his average above .200 and set a strikeout record for the jays with 160 ks/

He fought with everybody from the umps to the texas Rangers to Baltimore Orioles and  Rougned Odor and Darren O'day and everybody in-between and it made me mad at time laugh at time, and frustrated at  times.

after 1228 games 287 homer and 762 rbis with a batting average of .253 and a obp of .372 with 1097 hits Jose Bautista a jays legion and will be on the level of excellence as soon as he retires in a few more seasons some where else.

Thank you jose, jose, jose
