Manager Gibbons sees potential in Blue Jays second baseman Travis
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Blue Jays manager John Gibbons believes Devon Travis has the tools to be a one of the best hitters in baseball.
He just has to stay healthy.
The 25-year-old second baseman is expected to be ready for Opening Day on April 3 in Baltimore after undergoing surgery for the third time in two years.
“When we first traded for him I thought he was going to be strictly a line drives guy but he hits home runs a long way and he’ll drive in some runs,” Gibbons said Saturday after the team’s first full-squad spring training workout. “He’ll be a high average guy, he can do a lot of things.
