Lefty swinging Lloyd Moseby was one of the better all-around CF in Blue Jays’ history. His best season with the bat came back in 1983. Moseby played in 151 games in 1983 for the Blue Jays and he was 170 for 539 (.315 avg, .875 OPS) with 104 runs scored, 18 homers, 81 RBIs and 27 stolen bases. Moseby won the Silver Slugger Award (his only one) and he finished 14th in the MVP voting that year. Moseby played in 1,392 games in his 10 years with the Blue Jays and he was 1,319 for 5,124 (.257 avg, .748 OPS) with 768 runs scored, 149 homers, 651 RBIs and 255 stolen bases. Moseby is still the Blue Jays’ all-time leader in stolen bases with 255 of them. He is also #4 in games played (1,392), #4 in hits (1,319), #3 in runs scored (768), #4 in doubles (242), #2 in triples (60), #6 in homers (149), #5 in RBIs (651) and #2 in walks (547) in Blue Jays’ history. Despite the solid numbers that Moseby consistently put up, he only made it to 1 All-Star Game representing the Blue Jays.

Righty closer Tom Henke was downright nasty as the closer for the Blue Jays. He pitched in 446 games (0 starts) in his 8 years with Toronto and he was 29-29 with 217 saves, a 2.48 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. The amazing thing about Henke is that he only made it to the All-Star team one time with the Jays. To me, his best year came in 1989 for the Jays. He pitched in 64 games (0 starts) for the Blue Jays in 1989 and he was 8-3 with 20 saves, a 1.92 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. He only gave up 66 hits and 25 walks while whiffing 116 batters in only 89 innings in 1989. Henke and Duane Ward made games essentially 7 innings for the opposition.

Righty swinging RF Jesse Barfield looked like he was chiseled out of stone. He had a lot of power and a wicked good throwing arm. His best year for the Jays came back in 1985 when he played in 158 games in which he was 170 of 589 (.289 avg, .927 OPS) with 107 runs scored, 40 homers, 108 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. He finished 5th in the voting for the A.L. MVP Award in 1986 while he still won a Gold Glove, a Silver Slugger Award and he made the All-Star team. Barfield played in 1,032 games in his 9 years with the Blue Jays and he was 919 for 3,463 (.265 avg, .817 OPS) with 530 runs scored, 179 homers, 527 RBIs and 55 stolen bases. He is #10 in games played in Blue Jays’ history with 1,032. He also is #10 in hits (919), #8 in OPS (.817), #9 in runs scored (530), #5 in homers (179), #7 in RBIs (527) and he’s #10 in walks (342) in Blue Jays’ history. Barfield also won 2 Gold Gloves in his 9 years with the Blue Jays.

42-year old 2B Roberto Alomar has been elected into Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He will be wearing a Toronto Blue Jays’ cap when he goes into the Hall. Alomar played 5 years with the Blue Jays from 1991-1995. He played in 703 games in those five years and he was 832 of 2,706 (.307 avg, .833 OPS) with 451 runs scored, 55 homers, 342 RBIs and 206 stolen bases. Alomar made it to the A.L. All-Star team all five years he played in Toronto. He also won 5 Gold Gloves and 1 Silver Slugger Award for the Blue Jays. Alomar played in 2,397 games overall during his 17 years in the majors and he was 2,724 of 9,073 (.300 avg, .814 OPS) with 1,508 runs scored, 210 homers, 1,134 RBIs and 474 stolen bases.

LF George Bell could really swing the bat for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was a 2-time All-Star with the Blue Jays and he won 3 Silver Slugger Awards for them in his nine years with the team. In 1987 Bell won the A.L. MVP Award by playing in 156 games in which he was 188 of 610 (.308 avg, .957 OPS) with 111 runs scored, 47 homers, 134 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. Bell played in 1,181 games in his career with the Jays and he was 1,294 of 4,528 (.286 avg, .811 OPS) with 641 runs scored, 202 homers, 740 RBIs and 59 stolen bases. Bell is #6 in Blue Jays’ history in games played (1,181), #5 in hits (1,294), #8 in batting average (.286), #9 in OPS (.811), #5 in runs scored (641), #4 in homers (202), #3 in RBIs (740), #5 in doubles (237) and he’s tied for 9th in triples (32). Bell will go down as one of the better hitters in Blue Jays’ history.
