FORT MYERS, Fla. — So, I guess this means we start looking ahead to 2020, right?
fans; hope for 2019 on a day that was a little unnerving. We’ve never seen a prospect like Vlady, Jr. Therefore, we’ve never seen a prospect like him get injured doing, of all things, swinging a freaking bat.Hey, all we know about Vlady, Jr., is he is a stud. I mean, maybe he’s never done anything wrong in a game. So it made sense to ask Bichette, who although no longer joined at the hip with him has been a teammate long enough to know these things, how the game’s No.
The silver lining approach to all this is that it will finally end the tiresome carping about the Blue Jays having the audacity to act like, oh, World Series winners like the Chicago Cubs or Alex Anthopoulos’ Atlanta Braves and manage Guerrero’s service time by starting him in Triple-A. My goodness, what a pointless argument. And maybe this will serve as a gentle nudge for Guerrero – no, make that an opportunity – to focus on his conditioning and weight.
It’s what the Marlins did with Miguel Cabrera, and, yeah, there were differences between him and Guerrero: Cabrera came up from Double-A to join a team that was three games under-.500 and would go on to win the World Series, protected by veterans such as Derrek Lee, Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Pierre and Mike Lowell on a team that believed it was in the middle of a window of opportunity and didn’t play in the American League East. That’s not your 2019 Blue Jays.
