While the Blue Jays have several areas of their lineup in a virtual lock, the left field picture remains a bit of a mystery at this point in the Grapefruit schedule. In house candidates include veterans Melvin Upton, Ezequiel Carrera and young Canadian, Dalton Pompey. When he’s fully healthy, it’s expected that Steve Pearce will also factor into the picture.
It’s possible the Jays will enter the season with some combination of the above mentioned names, but there are reports (from Gregor Chisholm at MLB.com) that they’re still keeping an eye on available free agents, namely ex-Giant Angel Pagan.
