Matt Boyd, Paul Kilgus, Dale Murray, Travis Snider and Pat Tabler all have birthdays today.
There are five former Blue Jays who have birthdays today. First, Matthew Boyd turns 34 today. Boyd was a left-handed pitching prospect for the Jays. On our 2015 Top 40 Prospect list, we had him at #15. He was a lefty who didn’t throw all that hard but mixed in a breaking ball and a change. In 2015, he made a couple of spot starts for us. They didn’t go well. He gave up 4 runs in 6.2 innings against the Rangers on June 27.
Murray played in the majors for 12 seasons with six teams, Expos, Reds, Mets, Expos again, Jays, Yankees, and Rangers. He had a 3.95 ERA in 518 games, just 1 start and 60 saves. Travis Snider turns 37 today. You know the story. Travis was our top prospect for many years. Baseball Prospectus ranked him the fifth-best prospect in baseball in 2009, seventh-best in 2008, and 40th-best in 2007. He would go on to play parts of 5 seasons with the Jays. In 242 games, he hit .248/.306/.
