Honourable Mentions
Before we get to number one, there’s are a couple of guys that I think deserve a quick mention. Saint John, New Brunswick native Matt Stairs was the best hitter on the 2007 Blue Jays with a 138 OPS+. Paul Spoljaric from Kelowna, BC provided a solid bullpen arm in 1996 and 1997, with a 3.14 ERA over 86 innings.
Finally, “Captain Canada” Michael Saunders of Victoria, BC, had an elite first half of the 2016 season. He posted a 147 OPS+ and was named an Allstar before falling off in the second half of the year, but was still an integral part of the Blue Jays playoff run, with a 1.017 OPS in 14 postseason plate appearances.
