I hope Gurriel does well in AAA and we see him back with the Jays soon. Admittedly I have very high hopes for him, I think he has the tools to be a very good MLB infielder.
I saw Alford was optioned to the Bisons as well.
I saw a quote from Atkins today, I can’t remember where I saw it, basically saying he thinks Morales is going to turn it around soon so I think we are stuck with Morales for at least a couple more months. Meanwhile in the article the author was talking about Morales’ high ground ball rate, low line drive rate, and his .500 OPS being one of the worst in the majors with at least 100 PAs, yay?

Quote:
“First and foremost, one of the most encouraging things we’re seeing from him is his work ethic and his professionalism,” Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said. “The teammate he’s being. He has not reacted negatively. He’s only reacted with more work, more focus (and) attention to detail.”
“We still see a lot of signs of the potential for him to be a productive major-league hitter and hopefully we’ll see that sooner than later.”

The team needs a long man in the bull pen and Biagini is so well suited to that role, not sure why the Jays are so intent on him being a starter.
