Lourdes Gurriel Jr. took his talents to Buffalo with a positive outlook and appears to be honing his craft as anticipated. The Blue Jays infielder was demoted after struggling to make throws from second base on defence, the issue appeared to have crept into his psyche and was also affecting his performance at the dish.
Since his demotion, Gurriel is batting .388/.423/.755 with 19 hits including four home runs in 52 plate appearances. Over his last 10 games, Gurriel is hitting .425 with 17 hits and 18 runs batted in with the herd. Gurriel has also seen action at both second base (7 games) and shortstop (2 games) making one error in 26 chances.
