Cavan Biggio knows he's likely the next Blue Jays top prospect to make the jump from triple-A to the major leagues.

Biggio, the Blue Jays No. 9-ranked prospect, has been playing up to that challenge this season, batting .351 with a 1.131 on-base plus slugging percentage through his first 25 games with the Buffalo Bisons.

Guerrero made his MLB debut last week and Bichette is currently nursing a broken hand. That leaves Biggio next in line for that coveted promotion to the big leagues."I do see the writing on the wall but if I think about it too much it can only affect me negatively," Biggio said. "I'm just coming to the ballpark every day and trying to get better. ... If you do those things, everything will fall into place and they'll have to make a decision on you sooner rather than later.

"His swing is a lot more simple than it used to be," Aoki said in a phone interview from South Bend, Ind. "I think he just continues to evolve. He doesn't seem to stop wanting to learn about the game and improve himself." "My dad really wasn't that patient of a hitter," Biggio said with a smile. "He always compared me to his friend Jeff Bagwell instead because he would take walks when he could, steal a bag when he could. I think it's comes from me watching the game so much and learning that selective-aggressive mentality of waiting for my pitch."
