Ernie Clement News
Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Davis Schneider, utility bat Daniel Vogelbach, and infielder Ernie Clement have all made the opening day roster. Schneider should see a decent amount of playing time at second base, either as a platoon with Cavan Biggio or as the outright second baseman with Biggio shifting around the diamond. Vogelbach will likely be a bench bat and could fill in at DH when Justin Turner is playing in the field or taking a day off. Clement will be a bench infielder for the club. Schneider has the most appeal in fantasy and could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.
Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith says not to rule out Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement for the team's Opening Day roster. Clement is out of minor-league options, and rival teams have been eyeing him, while some pro scouts have been impressed with what they've seen. "They like him," a scout from another team said. "He doesn't hit for power, but he runs and he'll put the ball in play. I think they'll keep him just in case something happens to Bo (Bichette) but I'll put him down as someone to go after if they try to pass him through (waivers)." Clement is currently competing with Daniel Vogelbach, Spencer Horwitz, Eduardo Escobar and Davis Schneider for a bench spot to open the 2024 season. The 27-year-old didn't see many big-league chances in 2023, but when he did, he was impressive with a .380/.385/.500 slash line in 52 plate appearances.
Utility fielder Ernie Clement was released by the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. He was re-assigned to minor league camp on March 5th and sought to fill a role as organizational depth. In 2022, Clement played 63 games with the Cleveland Guardians and posted an appalling .485 OPS through 161 plate appearances. He was then claimed off waivers by the A's, who employed him for the remaining six regular season games. The 26-year-old is a top-tier defender and played various positions this past season. He has smooth hands and can play a fair game anywhere on the diamond. Clement will likely start in the minors if he is signed, and he could be an under-the-radar option in very deep-leagues if injuries pile up.
