In his latest Thoughts from the booth, ScottyMacThinks details how important Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s debut will be for the Blue Jays.
I don’t know what Montoyo plans to do with his lineup. This discussion seems to focus on the “hype” around Guerrero and the desire by the more conservative fans not to apply too much “pressure” to the young man. I can only speak for me but, in this case, I don’t know what “pressure” really means. Vladdy is is a top-third-of-the-lineup bat.
Cavan can play second base, first base, maybe third base in a pinch and the corner outfield spots. It’s not clear yet what will be his positional home. If he’s bouncing around, dad’s just a phone call away for advice. Biggio is 24. He’s not 20 like Vladdy or 21 like now-injured shortstop Bo Bichette. He played college ball at Notre Dame. There can’t possibly be much more development required.
