Throughout the winter I’ve had a lot of different people ask me what I expect from the Blue Jays in 2019, and it’s honestly not a simple answer. Of course I expect the team to go through growing pains this year with several inexperienced players, but I can honestly say that I don’t know how things are going to go, or even what I hope will happen in some cases.
On one hand, you could argue that the best thing that could happen for the Jays this year is a soft “tanking”, which would allow them to play their developing youngsters with regularity, and maybe even to earn one of the top picks in next year’s draft.
