SAN FRANCISCO – It was hours before first pitch (and the first home run of Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s career) and already the Blue Jays rookie was locked in.Sitting in the visitors’ dugo…

Sitting in the visitors’ dugout at Oracle Park as the Giants took batting practice, Guerrero studied the flight of the ball, from the time it left the bat to where it flew in all parts of this spectacular stadium.

“I did know that it was gone,” Guerrero said of that first home run, his first of four RBI in the Jays’ 7-3 win over the Giants. “I made very good contact. I hit it on the barrel and I knew it was going to be good.Who knows where Guerrero’s career will end up? But the trajectory has certainly picked up steam over his past few games, validating the sky-high projections for the Montreal-born, Dominican-raised prodigy.

“He’s that good. He could carry a team if he gets hot,” Montoyo said. “I don’t want to put that much pressure on him, but that’s the No. 1 prospect in baseball. He can do stuff like that.” Ready he was, to deliver the first big bash of his career before the Bay Area crowd had barely settled in their seats.

Blue Jays bump struggling Guerrero Jr. to 2nd in batting order - Sportsnet.caToronto Blue Jays rookie Vladimir Guerrero Jr., was bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the batting order for Friday night's game against the Chicago White Sox at Rogers Centre. I think he should go back to Buffalo and learn how to catch. Thought it weird him dumping Gatorade on teammates as he is a rookie who has done nothing. Entitlement is a curse. give him time. the constant pressure and spotlight is surely not helping. In a few years, we will all look back at this past month and LAUGH.
