I know the Jays draft the best player every time but am a bit surprised they haven't prioritized a middle infielder or 1B yet, maybe Nay becomes a 1B prospect. Makes me wonder what AA's plan for manning second and first base in 2 or 3 years looks like. You've gotta think that third, short, catcher, center and right are relatively deep and/or set for the next 4 or 5 years and with Gose, Marisnick, Crouse etc coming in the outfield I don't think they'll have any problems fielding a good left fielder. Only leaves two spots on the diamond where I'm unsure of the plan going forward.

It is possible to sign Alford if you allow him to also play football like Deion Sanders.
