Before I even get into this, I’m more than willing to acknowledge that we’re just seven games into the season, and the Blue Jays could have plenty of plans for their long term schedule. Perhaps my entire point will be moot in a week or two, but I’m going to make it for now anyway.
John Gibbons should try to avoid resting Russell Martin and Devon Travis on the same day.
I completely understand and appreciate why the Blue Jays’ skipper would want to give each player regular rest, as I think it’s a smart strategy for the long game of the 2018 season.
