The Blue Jays have had a few great Canadian hopes over the last few years, including free agent addition Russell Martin, trade acquisition Brett Lawrie, and some kid they drafted a few years back by the name of Dalton Pompey. There are others as well, and it’s been great to see baseball in Canada grow, and to see more Canucks make it all the way to the show.
In Dalton Pompey’s case, he looked like the type of toolsy centre fielder the Blue Jays had been lacking for several years, and starting out the 2015 season with the full time gig.
