47. Adam Lind

Adam Lind played most of his career with Toronto (2006-14), first showing up to the Jays as a September callup. 

Lind proved that he could hit, but he was an abysmal fielder and could only find a place in the Majors as a Designated Hitter, and for a brief time, he was among the best in this role.  Lind entered this role full-time in 2009, and he was phenomenal that year, hitting 35 Home Runs with 114 RBI and a .306 Batting Average.  He won the Silver Slugger and the Edgar Martinez Award as the game's top DH, but this was his high-water mark.

Lind had three more 20 HR years but struggled with his average and strikeouts, and would spend more time in the Minors.  He never got that 2009 level back and was traded to Milwaukee after the 2014 Season, and left the team with 931 Hits, 146 Home Runs, and a .276 Batting Average.

Mark Eichhorn had a tumultuous road to the Majors, first making it in 1982, but shoulder issues kept him from another MLB Game until 1986.

Eichhorn found a role for the Jays in late relief, winning 24 Games from 1986 to 1988 and leading the American League in Games Pitched (89) in 1987).  Toronto retooled and sold his contract to Atlanta in 1989, but the then-Angel was traded back to Toronto before the 1992 Trade Deadline.  Eichhorn was used in middle relief, and he helped Toronto in their back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993.

Eichhorn left as a Free Agent for Baltimore after the second World Series, and the Pitcher threw in 279 Games with a 3.03 ERA.

Doyle Alexander arrived in Toronto as a Free Agent early in 1983, right after the Yankees released him.  The righthander was a crafty veteran and had already played 13 seasons with six different teams, and when the Blue Jays picked him up, it would not have surprised anyone if this was the end of the road for Alexander.  It wasn’t, and he was about to have the best run of his career.

Alexander finished ’83 7-6 with a 3.93 ERA, and proved that he could still contribute.  He then produced his best year to date, complimenting ace Dave Stieb with a 17-6 record and a 3.13 ERA, and he followed that with another 17-Win year, with a 3.45 ERA.  With Alexander as a key part, Toronto made their first playoff, and though he faltered against Kansas City in the ALCS, he was sixth in Cy Young voting, the first time he ever received votes for the coveted award. 

Alexander got off to a slow start in 1986, and he was traded to Atlanta for Duane Ward.  With the Jays, Alexander posted 46 Wins against 26 Losses with a 3.56 ERA.

Teoscar Hernandez played a handful of Games for the Houston Astros before the Dominican Outfielder was traded to the Blue Jays at the 2017 Trade Deadline.  Hernandez spent most of that year in AAA but would be in the Majors the following year, belting 22 Home Runs, though his Batting Average was only .239.  2019 was much of the same (26 HR, .230), but the COVID-shortened year 2020 was Hernandez' breakout.

In 50 Games, Hernandez had 16 Home Runs but raised his Batting Average to .289, winning the Silver Slugger and finishing 11th in MVP voting.  He kept that through a full year in 2021, smacking 32 Home Runs and 116 RBI and increasing his BA to .296 while going to his first All-Star Game and winning a Silver Slugger.  Hernandez had another post-season honor, as he was selected to the All-MLB 2 Team.  

Hernandez had another good year in 2022 (25 HR, .267), but the retooling Jays traded him to the Mariners in the off-season.  With Toronto, Hernandez had 129 Home Runs with a .263 Batting Average.
