The Three Best Blue Jays
by Carlos Ramirez

The Toronto Blue Jays have had a busy offseason heading into the new season, setting up a very interesting team. As owners prepare for the season, who are the three best fantasy baseball 2013 players on their roster? Here’s a closer look to see for sure.

Edwin Encarnacion

Who? That’s right, the best fantasy baseball 2013 player on the Blue Jays is not even that well-known outside of Toronto. Encarnacion quietly hit 42 home runs last year, and he should be hitting in the middle of the lineup with more RBI opportunities this season. Many people were impressed with his plate discipline last season, and he is fully healthy from any lingering injuries he has had in the past. Expecting 40 home runs and 100 or more RBI is not completely out of the question.

Jose Bautista

When healthy, Bautista is perhaps the best power bat in baseball. Bautista still finished with 27 home runs last season, despite missing a lot of time. His .241 average is a bit of a concern, but many people feel that it was mostly due to injury. He is still young enough that no type of regression should really be kicking in.

The biggest issue for Bautista is the health. Those playing fantasy baseball 2013 can’t rely on a guy who misses a ton of games. Expect him to get a lot of playing time in the middle of the lineup if he can play most of the season for the Blue Jays.

Jose Reyes

Out of all of the new players the Toronto Blue Jays have now, the best fantasy baseball 2013 performer will more than likely be Jose Reyes. He might not have had the season he wanted to have in Miami last year, but injuries and just a bad atmosphere put a damper on things. He still steals a lot of bases (40 last season) and he has decent enough pop that he can help in homerun and RBI categories.



Going off of average last season, Reyes did an alright job at the plate, but many expected more. He is becoming a more disciplined hitter, which has helped his on-base percentage throughout the year.

All three of these players will benefit from a revamped roster that they are surrounded by in 2013. It is crazy to think that they will automatically win the American League East next season, but crazier things have happened in the past.
