There is no evidence that the Jays’ center-field job is “in play,” but perhaps it should be. Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR) has had a miserable spring thus far (3 H, 8 Ks in 23 ABs) and, while it is a small spring sample, it is certainly not the start he or the team were looking for after two seasons of hitting .225 or lower with sub-par contact.
