The Blue Jays have recalled 20-year old lefty swinging outfielder Travis Snider from the minors to replace Matt Stairs on the roster. Snider will likely play everyday for the Blue Jays the rest of the season as he was considered the Blue Jays best prospect heading into this season according to Baseball America. Snider played in 132 games in A+AA+AAA ball this season and he was 133 for 484 (.275 avg, .839 OPS) with 88 runs scored, 23 homers and 91 RBIs. Snider has had problem making contact as he has whiffed 153 times in the minors this season and he will need to cut the whiffs down to excel in the majors. Snider made his major league debut last night and it was a good one as he was 1 for 3 with a double and a run scored.
