Steve Ewen of The Vancouver Province says new turf may be installed at Nat Bailey Stadium in 2017 due to some bad hops in the infield.


The infield may have a different look at Nat Bailey Stadium this upcoming season.

One possibility that is being explored is having a turf infield and a grass outfield. That's the setup in place at Telus Field in Edmonton. Capital improvement plans will have be discussed with the Park Board and further discussions will be held with the Blue Jays to get their input.

The Player Development Contract between the Jays and C's runs until the conclusion of the 2018 season.

It looks like just three baby-Jays will make Keith Law's Top 100 prospects.

39. Vlad Jr.
55. Anthony Alford
72. Sean Reid-Foley

I'm not really a fan of this idea. I wonder what it is about Nat Bailey that's causing so much trouble with the infield? I've never noticed this issue at Seaman Stadium (the Okotoks Dawgs home field) and Seaman is an instructional league ballpark with a pretty small budget.

Maybe it's the earthquakes? ;) I dunno. Is it possible the Jays are doing this with an eye towards getting their young players acclimated to a turf infield before they get to Toronto?
