So what to talk about? Jays are kind of stuck right now waiting on Teoscar, Santander, and Burnes to make up their minds as to who they go to, and maybe waiting on Bregman as well

So for fun, who are some oddballs at different positions over the years? Using the Lahman database and lowest percentage of games played at any one position...

C: Carlos Delgado - 2 games out of 1423 in Toronto played at C
1B: Damaso Garcia - 1 game out of 902 played was at 1B
2B: George Bell - 1 game out of 1181 here was played at 2B (plus 8 at 3B)
3B: Pat Borders - 1 game out of 747 was at 3B, plus 1 at 2B as well
SS: Brett Lawrie - 1 game out of 345 was at SS
OF: Manuel Lee - 1 game out of 753 was in the OF
P: Ryan Goins - 1 game out of 448 was on the mound

There were guys with just 1 game at catcher (Tom Lawless for example, plus Mike & Ken Macha, 1 game at C each - the two are unrelated) but none played over 1000 games here.

Always love oddities like that. Useful if you are playing Immaculate Grid and they have a Jays slot open.

Sigh. If only Burnes or Teoscar could just make up their minds and get things moving again. The Vlad watch is dull as it gets - Jays offered $340 mil over 10, he wants $500+ over whatever.
