I thought the call up of second baseman Cavan Biggio from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons last week was a brilliant move by the Toronto Blue Jays’ front office. There was so much negativity surrounding Vladimir Guerrero Jr. not playing at Rogers Centre on Victoria Day that Biggio’s promotion to the majors was a positive distraction.
I was impressed by the young second baseman’s explanation of his first home run that he crushed to the fourth level of Rogers Centre in a 10-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon. When he was asked what he was thinking about at the plate, Biggio said he noticed that when FreddGalvis had two strikes against him in a prior at-bat, the pitcher tried to go inside with a fastball. Sure enough, Biggio got the same pitch and he was ready for it. That is advanced thinking for a rookie.
First, I would no longer let Sanchez be a starter. He needs to move to the bullpen. His blister issues don’t seem to flare up after one inning of work but rather in the middle innings of his outings. Let him pitch one inning at a time. Sanchez has the type of stuff that could overpower hitters in short spurts. He has done that before. Try it.
The Jays have shown a willingness to take both college and high school kids in the draft. It’s good to have plenty of kids moving through the farm system in waves and the willingness to select both college and high school prospects helps in that regard. But I fully expect that if they like two players equally, the Jays would take the college player over the high school player.
