When the Blue Jays signed George Springer this past off-season, a few questions arose as to how the organization was going to shuffle an outfield that already consisted of Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Randal Grichuk, and Teoscar Hernandez. Springer was obviously going to play regularly before he got hurt, but no matter how the Blue Jays re-organized the outfield, someone was going to either have to sit or play in the designated hitter position when looking at the numbers.
