As we continue to wait for baseball to return in North America, I can’t help but look back and think about teams and players of the past. And as I’ve done with building the ultimate, all-time Blue Jays lineup, and then the same for a pitching staff, I can’t help but do some rankings while I’m reminiscing.
With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to look back at the best designated hitters the Blue Jays have employed over the years, and do a quick little ranking on them as well. I’ll be using a very imperfect system (my own opinion), and largely basing it on what they did as a designated hitter for the Blue Jays, ignoring any defensive value they may or may not have brought with them.
