Marco Estrada’s tenure in Toronto has been one that has surpassed far beyond the initial expectations set on him when he was acquired in the 2014 offseason. As a Blue Jay, he’s been able to utilize his key strengths, while adding a cutter and increasing the use of his four seam up in the zone to have success.
He showed flashes of being a mid-rotation starter with the Brewers before coming to Toronto, but after a tumultuous 2014 campaign that saw him reverted to a bullpen role, the chances he’d reach that potential were slim to none.
