1. Kendrys Morales

Morales has the most to prove this Spring and all year. He needs to prove that he can hit on a level that will ease EE’s departure. Furthermore, he needs to prove that he can be at least capable of occasional first base duties so Joey, Tulo, Josh, and Russ can rest their arms. He netted one of the best contracts for a big bat, time to prove he deserves it.

1. Aaron Sanchez

I think Sanchez is the most interesting because he has all the potential to be the Jays ace after last season.  After last season, what does he do for an encore?  Is it CY young award or bust?  I think he has a solid outing and continues to become a true ace, much like Halladay did in running up his 2003 CY young award.  He will anchor the Jays staff this season.
