Biagini preparing for possible new role in second spring training with Jays
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Six months after cracking the Blue Jays’ major-league roster, Joe Biagini had a dream he was back in spring training as an unknown pitcher trying to prove himself.
He still has trouble believing his 2016 success even now.
“You spend 15, almost 20 years dreaming about this and you get in a habit of thinking about making it (to the majors),” Biagini said Tuesday at the team’s spring training clubhouse. “I kept thinking throughout the year, ‘Oh it’ll sink in, it’ll sink in’ and it wasn’t really sinking in.
“In August I had a dream that I was trying to make the team. I woke up and I saw the interior of my apartment in Toronto and I had to take a second and realize, ‘OK I did make the team.’”
