The recent hiring of Marcus Semien and the other chips that have the Blue Jays indicate that the test in Major Leagues of Vladdy Jr in the anteroom is over
Vladimir Guerrero Jr he has a lot to prove in the upcoming Major League season, but all indications are that he will do so from the first pad or as a designated hitter.
Vlad Jr.’s goal is to play in the anteroom, and still on his personal Instagram profile, he has in his biography that he is “Toronto Blue Jays 3B” although he saw no action in the third in the season 2020.
Travis Shaw he was the man in charge to occupy this position most of the campaign doing it in 37 parties, whereas Joe Panik he did so in 12 and Cavan in 10 games.
In the 2020-21 season of the Professional Baseball League of the Dominican Republic (LIDOM), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. saw action the Lions of the Chosen One in position number five and the idea that the Blue Jays player had worked in physical condition and was preparing to be the starting forward of Toronto for the 2021 campaign, although in 2020 all his games in the Major Leagues they were distributed between the initial one and like designated batter.
Guerrero committed 17 errors in 96 games as a third baseman in the 2019 campaign and all indications are that manager Charlie Montoyo would prefer to see the Dominican Slugger out of the hot corner.
The Toronto Blue Jays have been one of the most active teams in the offseason, and after the postseason tasting they had last year against the Tampa Bay Rays, they want to get deeper into the playoffs by adding man like George Springer, Kirby Yachts, Tyler Chatwood and now, Marcus Semien on a one-season contract and $ 18 million.
And in the former Oakland Athletics is the key to the position that Vladimir will occupy in 2021. Although Semien has played most of his career as a shortstop, he has also had experience in the anteroom and intermediate, Bo Bichette it will be the shortstop for the Blue Jays.
The smart move would be that Then play the second pad and Cavan Biggio became the regular forerunner of the set, however, whatever the decision of manager Montoyo, will not include Vladimir in the anteroom.
The Toronto Blue Jays team has improved a lot both offensively and defensively with the new additions, and that could put pressure on Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Which should improve significantly with its bat in 2021.
