Fizzlebeef Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:47:05 +0000 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/?p=80209#comment-2411030 Fred: Snider and Thames have both been told that one will be the Jays starting LF and the other will be sent down. This will be the outcome regardless of Francisco and just about anything short of Bautista, Lind, or Encarnacion going to down to injury for a prolonged time and opening up a starting position.

They’ve known about this since well before spring training, so any grievances towards this would have probably already been voiced.

Seeing as they’re both still with the Jays and playing well right now, I don’t think they mind it all that much.

Both Snider and Thames should be given a chance to prove themselves. Bringing in Francisco at this point is a kick in the ass to these two young Jays. So much for team morale.
Can you imagine sending Snider down one more time, especially after his great spring effort? If I were Snider, I’d demand to be traded ……screw the Jays.
Either Thames or Snider are likely to outperform Francisco at the plate and more likely in the field

You don’t need huge biceps to hit for power.
