Blue Jays: Upton could do more than platoon

Considering how poor their spring record looks at the moment (5-12), the Blue Jays have plenty to be optimistic about for the upcoming season. Hitters like Jose Bautista and Kendrys Morales have looked locked in early, and pitchers like Marcus Stroman and Francisco Liriano look like they could start the season tomorrow.

While there are plenty of players written in ink on the lineup card, the left field picture remains murky, even with 3 weeks to go before Opening Day. The options are well documented, including Ezequiel Carrera, Melvin Upton, Dalton Pompey, and possibly Steve Pearce, if the Jays elect to use him in the outfield.
