For almost a quarter of a season, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been one of the best players, if not *the* best player, in the league, writes ScottyMacThinks. That and other BlueJays observations in the latest Thoughts From The Booth:

Every Friday, Blue Jays Talk host Scott MacArthur will weigh in with his observations on the Blue Jays from the past week.

When Gurriel was sent to Triple-A Buffalo after the April 14 game against Tampa Bay, he was slashing .175/.250/.275 with no home runs. The defence, specifically his yips throwing the ball from his position as the second baseman to first base, served as the primary premise for his demotion.
