Looking at this lineup, you can tell right away what issues will ail the Jays for a very long time: an absolute lack of power throughout the organization. I'm almost at the point of taking bets on the next time the Jays have a 35 HR hitter being in 2025 or beyond (if it wasn't for Travis Snider that is). The Dunedin crew do have speed in Mastroianni who also has an excellent OBP. JJ is also starting to get better, but the fact remains that John Tolisano is tied for the team lead in HRs with 5. Both Tolisano and Jackson also have 12 errors already to their credit, which doesn't scream "Promote me now!!!". Ahrens is depressing, very depressing actually. On the good side Jonathan Jaspe has shown good patience at the plate and could become a Jason Kendall type of catcher with a little more pop. Moises Sierra came out this season all guns-a-blazing but has slowed a little since then, and Eric Thames was the best hitter on the team until he got injured. Adam Loewen's conversion to becoming a hitter has been slow and it seems that it could be a pipe dream to ever see him make it past AA as a hitter.
