As TAO says, the OF certainly looks like a hot mess right now, and it will be interesting to see how Shatkins go about improving it.
RF - Pompey
CF - Pillar
LF - Upton (vs LHP) / Carrera (vs. RHP)
Yikes.
Sure would be nice if either Ramirez or Alford had played (and excelled) in AAA last season, but neither played AAA at all. Ramirez is slotted for AAA next season, and maybe if he lights it up we see him later in the year, but even with that slim hope something needs to be done. The free agent market is pretty ugly now too, so it likely needs to be done via trade.

What about Lourdes Gurriel? Is he major league ready? I suspect he's probably in the Jays outfield plans. Whether it's this year or not remains to be seen.
