If I’m being honest, I didn’t think that Anthony Alford would still be a Blue Jay by the time that spring camp opened up for the Blue Jays. It’s not that I don’t believe in him, or that I think the Blue Jays have written him off, it’s just that that he’s in a tough outfield battle, and he’s also out of minor league options.
Despite those complicating factors, Alford is in camp with the Blue Jays and looking to win a big league job before Opening Day. He’ll more than likely be competing for a back-up outfielder’s job, but for Alford the first goal has to be remaining on the roster.
