The Toronto Blue Jays have long believed in Edwin Encarnacion. Before that, the Cincinatti Reds we big, big fans of the third-baseman-now-turned-first-baseman. The rub was that Edwin Encarnacion had never performed at the level these teams thought he could.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Moises Sierra has a fine throwing arm, but he is new to the majors, called up from Class AAA Las Vegas on July 31. So surprise, surprise, he needs some refining. Ever since he was promoted, there seems to have been an obsession with the raw skills of the 23-year-old outfielder. Sure, his throws have been erratic at times, but it's not as if there...

For a little while, Toronto was showing the makings of a playoff contender. An excellent offense built around Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion and a surprisingly solid starting rotation built around Brandon Morrow kept the Blue Jays in games for the first half of the season. But the injuries piled up, particularly on the pitching end, prompting inquiries into record-setting injury...

Plays like these demonstrate why the Toronto Blue Jays are horrible and in last place. This fly ball could not have gotten any easier for outfielder Moises Sierra to catch, yet somehow he managed to turn a very routine play into the most ridiculous looking blunder of all time.
