With Cavan Biggio progressing more quickly than expected from neck and back problems, the Blue Jays’ third-base situation is about to become very complicated. Biggio struggled defensively early in the season, but improved to the point where he was a perfectly adequate defender at the hot corner before this latest trip to the injured list. While Biggio struggled, Santiago Espinal stepped into the breach and made an impression whenever he was given the chance to play. The first time Biggio was injured, Espinal pretty much split the duties with the since-traded Joe Panik. Espinal has options remaining, so there’s a real possibility that he’s the one who goes, not Valera, when Biggio returns.
