Pitching has been the biggest problem for the Toronto Blue Jays this season, especially in their starting rotation that has been decimated by injuries.
The second biggest problem, and one that would rival the rotation, has been in the outfield. Prior to the emergence of Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in left field after his return from Buffalo, the Blue Jays’ outfield picture was a complete mess. It looks slightly better now that Gurriel Jr. seems like a permanent fixture in left field, and thankfully Randal Grichuk has looked a lot more like the player that was handed a five-year extension earlier this year than the one that had fans pulling their hair out earlier in the season.
