Eloy Jimenez at first base?
That's where he's been practicing at camp.
Eloy Jiménez has been spending a lot of time at first base early in camp. He's dabbled there for a few games in the minors and, more recently, in the Dominican Winter League.
He's taking more grounders there with Vladdy this morning at TD Ballpark. #BlueJays

Angels criticized
If Arte Moreno wanted to win, the Angels would have a great club, says Kevin Pillar.
“He needs to get rid of the team, because he really doesn't care about the Angels.”
If Arte Moreno truly prioritized winning, Anaheim would be a destination franchise, says @KPillar4. pic.twitter.com/7axAX8ywJc
