Edwin Encarnacion—Cleveland Indian. It’ll take some getting used to.
Now that the unfortunate confirmation of Encarnacion’s departure has begun to settle in, we can start thinking of his Blue Jays tenure in the past tense. Just how much of an impact did he have on this organization?
Obviously he was a key player for the majority of his eight years in this city but did he contribute enough to have his name emblazoned on the Rogers Centre’s Level of Excellence? It’s an honour that has been bestowed on just six players in team history (out of about 700 total): Tony Fernandez, George Bell, Roberto Alomar, Dave Stieb, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado.
