Marco Estrada, Blue Jays Ultimate Swing Man
The Toronto Blue Jays are on the brink of playoff elimination. They’re down 2-0 in the ALDS to the Texas Rangers. In a weird twist of fate, all of their hopes hinge on Marco Estrada. Once traded for Adam Lind in a deal that felt like the club whatever it could for the so called “malcontent”, Estrada has established himself as quite the force in the Blue Jays rotation. It wasn’t clear what the club would get from him. They’d hoped for a swing man who could give them a spot start here and there. Now, they are putting all of their hopes on his shoulders to save their season.
