TORONTO — Leo Jimenez can't believe he's in a Major League Baseball clubhouse, preparing for a game with players he used to watch as a fan.
Originally a shortstop, Jimenez has started playing some second base in the Blue Jays' organization. He's hitting .271 with seven home runs and 23 runs batted in over 57 games for the Buffalo Bisons this season. Most impressive is his .416 on-base percentage thanks to 30 walks drawn in 226 plate appearances.
Kiner-Falefa was on fire the past 10 games, hitting .421 with a .488 on-base percentage. He had 16 hits and three home runs in that stretch, scoring 13 times."I think production aside, he's just such a baseball player," said Schneider."Obviously, you miss all the little aspects that he brings everyday and the production, obviously.
