Toronto Blue Jays: Is Edwin Encarnacion’s Breakout For Real?

Led by “Joey Bats” (that would be Jose Bautista to those of us in the Unite States), the Toronto Blue Jays have boasted a dangerous lineup over the past few seasons.  A top ten offense the past three seasons (No. 6 in 2011), the Toronto Blue Jays figures to be even stronger with the emergence of Edwin Encarnacion.  Acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays at the 2009 Trade...

Going into spring training, we were all told that there would be a 2-man competition for the job in the Blue Jays left field between incumbent Eric Thames and Travis snider, with the loser presumably providing a plan B should the other struggle.

The Great Big 2012 Blue Jays Forecast Series, Part 6: Edwin Encarnacion

With spring training officially just under a month away, we continue with a series of projections on what the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays might look like.
