Opportunity to do what? Butcher the position like he has every time he’s been out there in his career?

i mean...we need to think outside the box here in order to get Turner and Vogelbachs red hot bats into the lineup at all costs.

I dont think he'll even reach 15 tbh. His groundball rate this season is alarming.

I said in my posts two years ago around this time that if Cavan Biggio's name was Cavan Smith, that he would not be taking up a roster spot in Toronto. This is his 6th year in Toronto, and he has been atrocious the past four years. Not sure when the love affair with this scrub will end, but you cannot convince me a guy like Martinez cannot contribute more than this scrub Biggio.

Strike 3 Looking will be my memories of Biggio's Blue Jays career when he is gone. Call up Martinez and Horwitz, so they can get more playing time than guys like Biggio, Turner, and Vogelbach. However, that will make Cavan's father mad, since he is good friends with our clown manager Schneider, and friendship is more important than results I guess for this pathetic organization.

Tellez 2 RBI hit shows the run prevention strategy has flaws.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Bichette is an absolute disaster at the plate this year. What happened to this guy?

I always believed in you, Vogelbach.

Offense looking a lot better with Kirk, Kiermaier, and Biggio on the bench. I would not mind Vlad getting an extended look at third base, if it means this organization calling up Spencer Horwitz from Buffalo and having him at First Base with the way he is swinging the bat in AAA. He cannot do worse than Justin Turner right now, who has been atrocious this past month.

It's almost as if he's playing himself out of this city. Maybe he prefers a change of scenery. It's puzzling why he has been a disaster this season. He looks nothing like the Bo we know who led the league in hits.

He obviously would like to be hitting well.
