The final slot is up in the air - could be Collins (3rd catcher), could be Lukes, could be Fowler (both OF), who knows and does it matter much? Really, outside of pinch running situations how often will the 13th batter be used, unless they find a good LH bat. The entertaining concept that has come up is calling up
Gabriel Moreno immediately to be a DH/C due to his bat being ready
as far as assorted players are concerned. I keep wondering if we're going to see a final shoe drop as the Jays trade for a LH DH who can play the OF (such as free agent
Michael Conforto who is still out there) or for the Jays great white whale -
Jose Ramirez. Nah. There is a chance the Jays carry an 11th reliever (the lightly hurt Borucki) and go with 12 hitters for now too.
Notes: Final MLB Power Rankings (via MLB.com) have the Jays #2 in the majors behind the Dodgers and ahead of the White Sox. Rays #5, Yankees #6, Red Sox #11 (dang the AL East is nuts outside of the O's at #30 out of 30) via
