The Toronto Blue Jays offense, which looked absolutely merciless in 2015, has largely stalled through the first two months of 2016. One player who has been doing his part and then some, however, is outfielder Michael Saunders.
The 29-year-old owns a .295/.387/.536 slash line on the season with nine homers and 17 RBI. He has remained fairly steady throughout the year while bigger names have slumped. It’s a resounding comeback for Saunders, who played in only 87 games the last two years due to injury.
Leaner days are likely coming: he’s working a .381 BABIP right now and his career 98 OPS+ suggests he’s been an average hitter at best even when healthy. But if you could use a boost in batting average or on-base percentage at the moment, Saunders is someone to consider.
