Fred Lewis is not sure if he’s in Toronto Blue Jays plans for 2011

By Allan

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, Fred Lewis, is not sure where he falls in the team’s plans for 2011, according to MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian.

“I’m a whole lot unsure,” Lewis said. “I know that I’m an everyday position player and I don’t know what the future holds. I just have to sit back and wait.”

Lewis came over to Toronto in April in a trade from the San Francisco Giants. He came over from a crowded outfield with the Giants to a starting spot with the Blue Jays. However, over the past two months, he has been shifted back to a part-time role off the bench.

“I know the type of player that I am. I just want to play every day,” said Lewis. “They can decide to pick up my contract or they can non-tender me. Who knows what they decide? Hopefully I’m back. If I’m not, it’s a business.”

The 29-year-old is under contract for this season for $455,000 and is arbitration eligible. He’s out to have season-ending surgery next week on his left foot for a bunion.
