If there’s one player who benefitted the most from the Blue Jays’ descent into obscurity during the first half, it’s Danny Jansen. The rookie catcher went largely unnoticed for two-and-a-half months and, for his sake, that’s probably a good thing. The Blue Jays have been an afterthought for most of the year and in Jansen’s case, that was a positive. There have been plenty of light-hitting catchers who have come through this city in recent years, but Jansen wasn’t supposed to be one of them. Attendance and television ratings are down and the Blue Jays could be headed for a 100-loss season.
