Hernandez or even Gurriel would be miles better than Kevin Kiermaier. Gurriel would be second on the Jays in batting average and HR and would lead the team in RBIs by 33%. Teo would lead the team in HR, RBI and would be second in batting average.
Joc Pederson would be second 3rd in bat WAR in the Jays in only 74 at bats.
I believe that one of the biggest reasons that Guerrero was so good in 2021 is because he was surrounded by guys like Semien, Gurriel, and Hernandez and wasn’t expected to be “the guy”. He doesn’t seem to be capable of carrying the team on his shoulders and needs others to be leaders so that he can simply focus on doing his part.
