Toronto Blue Jays legend Will Wagner's dad!

Can't argue with any of these but how is Ichiro not unanimous.

My only thing is does it really go back almost 100 years or where these guys just assholes

It pained me to trade Will but he's a second baseman and with Tuve it wasn't gonna work lol

He got a good amount of playing time down the stretch last year and played well. I don't think he will start at second with them acquiring Giminez but I expect Bichette will likely be traded at some point and if not he is leaving as an FA so Giminez will slide over to SS and Wagner will be the starting 2B.

I saw somewhere that he might be playing left field which if true I could only assume would be due to his offense cause unless y'all have a Houston-like left field its not really close to second base!

The Jays like versatility. I am sure they will get him some play in LF. Maybe even 3B.

I'm trying to remember but I think the “knock” against him with those positions where his lack of power. I want to say he was projected to be a 10-15 hr player with a high batting average and ability to drive the ball to all parts of the field

Yes he isn’t a power guy. I would say 10-15 sounds about right. Great contact hitter though.
