The Blue Jays have gotten fantastic value on their dollar from Justin Smoak and Chris Colabello at first base this season. With memories of Colabello in left field fully suppressed, the Blue Jays will enter postseason play with some options at the position.
Smoak has earned the last three starts at first base, bringing his September total to 12, but is coming off some ugly performances. The hulking switch-hitter struck out in all four of his at-bats against the Yankees, his final whiff coming in a high-leverage situation with runners on the corner and less than two out.
