The past 18 months have been a roller-coaster for Blue Jays centre-fielder Dalton Pompey. After skyrocketing through the system and ranking as Baseball America’s number 30 prospect entering 2015 before some underwhelming MLB play, Pompey has returned to prospect status under the new regime.
He hasn’t been kept with the triple-A Buffalo Bisons due to a lack of opportunity. With Kevin Pillar on the 15-day disabled list with a thumb injury, Jose Bautista on the DL with a knee sprain, and Ezequiel Carrera out with an achilles issue, Pompey has been passed over for Darrell Ceciliani and Junior Lake.
