Ross Atkins and company may just know what they are talking following Anthony Kay‘s promising MLB debut last night and the progress Simeon Woods Richardson made at the Blue Jays minor league ranks.
Kay made a number of quality starts for Triple-A Buffalo leading to the September promotion onto the big club. The 24-year old appeared unfazed in his debut versus the Tampa Bay Rays surrendering just two runs over 5.2 innings while fanning eight batters.
The hurler gave up four hits although none of them were of well-hit balls in terms of exit velocity proportions.
