Who wants to get Rowdy?
In 553 AB over his first 3 seasons, Rowdy Tellez has 33 HR & 33 2B to go along with 91 RBI and 79 R plus a 157/42 K/BB.
The .250 BA is a concern. But, he was a .275 hitter in over 2,000 minor league (all AA/AAA) at bats. And he did cut down on his K's last season. So, maybe there is room for improvement here.
Looks like the soon-to-be 26 year-old has the inside track on the Blue Jays DH spot to begin the season. The big question is where does he hit? Last year, his at bats were spread out mostly among the 3-4-5-6 & 8 spots in the order. If Tellez and his huge power upside can find a way into the middle of that stacked lineup, there would be no shortage of RBI opportunities for him.
