Key Stats: 4.00 R/G, 3.5 WAR
Go-To Starting Lineup: DH George Springer, CF Daulton Varsho, 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., LF Yohendrick Piñango, RF Jesús Sánchez, 3B Kazuma Okamoto, 2B Ernie Clement, SS Andrés Giménez, C Brandon Valenzuela
Ooh, a controversy…but not really. That implies that there’s a right answer here, and there isn’t. Not one Blue Jays hitter with at least 100 plate appearances is doing better than a 112 OPS+, and that’s not a lot to ask. Heck, Daylen Lile is doing better than that, and you don’t even know who he is.
LVP: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Guerrero is the guy on the Blue Jays with the 112 OPS+, so perhaps this slide has officially gone off the rails. But $500 million should buy a consistent lineup rock, and Guerrero is doing that thing where he just vanishes for long stretches. Above all, it’s inexcusable that he’s slugging just .372 with three homers.
