Blue Jays: Hoping for one more shot for Dalton Pompey

It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly four full seasons since the Blue Jays started their 2015 campaign with a talented rookie in centre field. That year they were hoping that 22 year old Dalton Pompey would be able to handle the pressures of playing for the only team in his home country, as well as the general rigours of being a starting centre fielder in the big leagues.

Unfortunately his MLB career got off to a rocky enough start that he was shipped back to Triple-A to get his performance on track, and in the mean time a young outfielder by the name of Kevin Pillar started making a name for himself as “Superman” in centre field.
