When the Blue Jays let go of John Gibbons and replaced him with Charlie Montoyo in the manager’s seat, many of us assumed that would likely mean a more innovative approach to the game, especially with Montoyo coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays.
I’m all for using advanced data in today’s game, even if I’m a bit of a traditional about the game I love. I’ve had to accept a few changes to the game in recent years, but what I’ve been seeing at times from the Blue Jays during Grapefruit League is both interesting, and a bit of a head-scratcher.
