What To Do...

If you have been following the Toronto Blue Jays spring training then you might have been hearing a
lot about this kid Brett Lawrie. This 21 year old B.C. boy came to the Blue Jays during the off-season in exchange for Shaun Marcum.  Throughout the 8 exhibition games that Lawrie has played in he has managed to tally up 8 hits, 2 homers, 5RBI, 1 stolen base, for a batting average of .381.The Jays have been playing him at third where he has been getting the job done. So with Brett Lawrie's solid spring performance so far, the question is will he be playing up in Toronto this season?

Lawrie has already shown that he can play 3B and if can keep his batting average going then he has a really good chance of making it. There has also been talk about Jose Bautista wanting to play in the outfield, which is giving Lawrie an even better opportunity. So if Bautista stays in the outfield that would leave Edwin Encarnacion and Lawrie as possible third basemen. Edwin has been trying out First base, but I don't see him staying there since Adam Lind has been trying it out since the end of last season. Here's a quick look at what the Field might look like opening day...

C - J.P. Arencibia
1B - Adam Lind
2B - Aaron Hill
3B - Brett Lawrie
SS - Yunel Escobar

RF - Jose Bautista
CF - Jaun Rivera
LF - Travis Snider
DH - Edwin Encarnacion

Bench - Jose Molina, John McDonald, Mike McCoy, Rajai Davis, Anthony Gose.

In my opinion Lind should be starting at 1B. Then if Lind is DH or taking a day off, Edwin can go to first.
Arencibia should be getting the majority of starts catching so we can see what the kid can do. Plus, last year Molina and Morrow worked quite well together so Jose can get the start when Morrow is pitching.

Those are some of my thoughts so far on the Blue Jays, but that's just what I think, you can take this and form your own opinion.
