In this week's Blue Jays Confidential, SNJeffBlair , ArdenZwelling , ShiDavidi , bnicholsonsmith and Wilnerness590 share some unsolicited advice for the front office on how to help Guerrero Jr. adapt to life as a Blue Jay.
2. You’ve all seen in recent years some young players arrive in Toronto to great fanfare, achieve some early success and then struggle for a period of time, either on or off the field, with elements of life in the Blue Jays fishbowl. If you were in the Toronto front office, what would you do to help ensure Guerrero’s transition to life as a Blue Jay is as smooth as possible?I’d get him comfortable doing his media availabilities in English.
Then there’s the question of who keeps Guerrero Jr. level-headed when he hits four homers in four days and starts seeing big-league money in his bank account every two weeks. Who urges him to eat healthy and get enough rest when indulgent meals and entertainment are available in every city? Who’s there taking ground balls with him five hours before game time? At one point it might have been Kendrys Morales. Maybe it’s Freddy Galvis now, or someone else entirely.
