Who are the top five players currently on the Toronto Blue Jays? Let us take a look at the roster and find out.

The Toronto Blue Jays are having a nice season so far this year as they are currently in the hunt for the division title. They have relied on a mix of their strong offense and overachieving pitching this season. With the loss of David Price and the lack of production from Jose Bautista it is surprising just how good the Blue Jays have been so far this season.

The Blue Jays are an intriguing team if they can continue to play well down the stretch and make the the postseason. The offense can compete with anyone and their pitching has been surprising. How effective could it be in the postseason is a valid question?

One aspect of the Blue Jays roster there is no doubting is there offense. They can hit balls out of the park with regularity and have continued to be a top offense this season despite facing some improved pitching from their division opponents.

The Blue Jays roster is very talented but who are the best players on their current roster?  Before we answer that there are a couple of players worth mentions that just didn’t quite make the cut.

Deon Travis- The Jay’s young second baseman is a very talented hitter and defender and should have no problem playing into the Jay’s long-term plans the one thing keeping him off this list is the fact he has been injured a lot and has yet to establish a track record because of it.

Roberto Osuna-  He is only twenty-one years old and already has saved over fifty games. He again may play into the Jay’s long-term  plans.

Marco Estrada- Marco is enjoying a great year with the Jays and has bounced back to put up some really nice numbers. The problem for him is he is slipping a bit lately and it is doubtful he can maintain the form he has shown this season.
