Blue Jays’ Year in Review: Good, Bad & the Ugly – Justin Smoak

Related Topics: Justin Smoak, Toronto Blue Jays

Justin Smoak was a polarizing player heading into the 2017 season. With a line of critics that could pave the streets around the Rogers Centre, Smoak has finally found a way to tune out all of these naysayers. Smoak put together a season that many had thought he would do many years ago. I admit I was one of his biggest critics but mostly because I thought if he was more patient at the plate it could lead to good things. He has always had plenty of talent to be a strong hitter, but was for some reason not finding something that worked for him.
