Vlad Jr. draws praise upon spring arrival

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays' biggest star arrived Saturday morning when top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. officially reported to Spring Training.

Guerrero is scheduled to undergo his physical Sunday, which is the mandatory report date for all position players. The Blue Jays will then hold their first full-squad workout Monday, but Guerrero wanted to get started a little bit early.

Within a couple hours of his arrival, Guerrero was on the field taking ground balls alongside Brandon Drury at third base. The two infielders are technically competing for the starting job at third but the logical assumption is that Drury will be there on Opening Day before turning things over to Guerrero a few weeks later.
