Many of the Blue Jays bright lights of the future are getting long looks at the teams Spring Training camp in Dunedin in the knowledge that more time in the minor leagues is needed before they make the jump to everyday duties in the Bigs. Sean Mannion Jersey . However, one Opening Day position remains unclaimed. The battle for Left Field remains heated through the third week of camp with Eric Thames and Travis Snider battling it out for the teams one available outfield job. Thames appeared to enter the spring with the edge, often taking the field and running drills with projected starters Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus in the early going as well as suiting up with the pair to start the teams spring opener on Mar. 3. However, some believe Snider to have the higher ceiling in terms of projected major league talent. Just three years ago Snider was dubbed the sixth-best prospect in Baseball Americas annual Top 100 behind the likes of David Price, Jason Heyward and current teammate Colby Rasmus. However, his numbers over the past three seasons led to Thames establishing residency in left in 2011 from late June onward. But which player is the answer, long-term? Here are the raw numbers - Thames: (25 y/o, Hits: Left, Throws: Right, Ht/Wt: 61" – 205 lbs) 2011 stats: 95 GP, .262 BA, 12 HR, 37 RBI, .769 OPS, 2 SB, .987 Fielding %, 2 Assists Spring Training stats (as of 03/12): 17 AB, .294 BA, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .898 OPS, 0 SB, 1.000 F%, 0 Assists Snider: (24 y/o, Hits: Left, Throws: Left, Ht/Wt: 60" – 235 lbs) 2011 stats: 49 GP, .225 BA, 3 HR, 30 RBI, .616 OPS, 9 SB, .969 Fielding %, 4 Assists Spring Training stats (as of 03/12): 19 AB, .316 BA, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 1.223 OPS, 1 SB, 1.000 F%, 3 Assists Its no secret that Snider has struggled to find consistency as a major leaguer. In his fourth year with the Jays, Snider has seen his average drop from .301 (in 24 games in 200 to last seasons low of .225. But Sniders problem doesnt seem to be hitting major league pitching, his problem seems to be stringing together a season of regular success at the plate. Snider was demoted to Las Vegas (AAA) at the end of April of last year. He returned to the Jays in July and promptly caught fire. In his first 13 games back with the club, he hit .357 and drove in 17 runs. However, 11 games and just six hits later, Snider was back in Vegas where he would finish the year. With Sniders demotion, Thames became the everyday left fielder. However, his numbers down the stretch were not much better than Sniders. Thames hit .247 from August onward, including just .211 through September and October. However, he did seem to respond to hitting second in the order throughout his 95-game stint, doing much of his damage from that spot, including a .285 average with 11 homers and 31 runs batted-in in 71 games. Thames appears to have the confidence of Jays manager John Farrell at the plate, while Snider offers better speed, defence and versatility in the outfield. Thames had his best games with the Jays as the teams designated hitter last season. While only appearing in 14 games as the teams DH, Thames hit a whopping .354 when he didnt have to take the field, scoring 11 runs in the process. Snider, meanwhile, offers the kind of outfield hustle that saw him occasionally fill in as the Jays centrefielder and doubled Thames outfield assists total in just over half as many games. But the numbers at the plate – especially when the going gets tough – favour Thames in the head-to-head battle. While both players had better numbers against righties, Thames .216 average against left-handers looks sparkling when put alongside Sniders mark of .152 against south-paws. Another issue with Snider is patience and poise at the plate, seeing him hit just .127 in 63 at-bats that saw pitchers get ahead of him in the count. Thames mark of .203 – while unspectacular – at least puts him above the Mendoza Line. So the Jays are left to evaluate the pair with the weeks remaining in camp. The team has set itself up to allow possible future starters to develop slowly in the minors, with high-ceiling players like Travis dArnaud, Anthony Gose, Adeiny Hechevarria and Kyle Drabek patiently waiting for their shot. So the team is likely unconcerned at the prospect of sending one of the two talented young players to Las Vegas to start the year or even to play out the year in full. The teams patient approach to player development has been well documented and should one player cement his hold on the job, the team will then be left with the task of either reshaping or relocating whichever player loses out on the everyday gig. But with the pair seemingly getting an equal shot at the job in the early-going this spring, it seems that the team itself is still making up its mind.
