UT, A+ If we’re going to open the doors to sports betting with platforms like daily fantasy, we should be able to push this a lot further. And if they try to sign him to an extension, he’ll cost a lot less than he would have with the tailwinds of health and full-season numbers behind him. Because of Donaldson’s injuries this year and last, here’s where we’re at: If the Jays dangle Donaldson to other teams at the trade deadline, they’ll fetch a lot less in return than they would have had Donaldson played through the past season-and-change at full health. 3B, D+ A shoulder injury cut his month short, and a.239/.352/.457 batting line falls well short of his production from the past three seasons. Matter of fact they’ve already done so, which is why Aledmys Diaz, Yangervis Solarte, and Lourdes Gurriel are already on the major-league roster. SS, F The Jays need to make alternate plans, assuming that Tulo won’t ever again be a significant contributor in Toronto. It might be time to accept that Travis more closely resembles the fringe prospect/13th-round draft pick he was six years ago than the player who hit.301 in the first 163 games of his major-league career. We’re more or less splitting the difference here.ĢB, F Another Toronto hitter who, Travis’s lack of hard contact in the air got so bad, he got sent to the minors. Compared to the.270/.355/.529, 38-homer joy-ride he went on in 2017, it’s a power-starved disappointment. Compared to everything Smoak did before last season, a.255/.355/.441 line at the end of April looks terrific. 1B, B- This all comes down to perspective. Martin gets high marks for his experience and game-calling skill behind the plate, but no amount of catching know-how can make up for hitting like a pitcher.

Though Martin continues to walk at an elite rate, he’s making more weak outs than just about any other hitter in the game: Only three AL hitters have, and only one has. Infield C, D- He batted.156/.299/.328 through the end of April, while making $20 million.
