There are many massive Toronto Blue Jay Prospects dominating in Triple-A Buffalo, but it is very clear to fans and to the city that Ross Atkins has way too big of an ego and is too stubborn to call up Spencer Horowitz

Horowitz is hitting .332, with 4 home runs and 38 RBI's in 54 games for the Triple-A Buffalo Bison. He gets on base almost half of his at-bats and has a slugging % of .500.

With Atkins set to be "The Guy" with a power trip, he has committed so much to DH Daniel Vogelbach and Justin Turner that he directly refuses to call up any prospects that can actually help the team win more ball games.

It's pretty obvious by now that Atkins will NEVER call up Spencer even if he hits 2 HRs per game in AAA, barring a Blue Jays injury. Atkins sunk money into Turner and Vogelbach and won't admit he f*cked up. Come on, Atkins. The kid's earned a shot!!

Fans are livid online saying that Atkins needs to be fired immediately as these prospects have earned their shot at the Big Leagues.

*for everyday playing time for 3 -4 weeks. Don't call him up and use him here and there and wreck up his timing. Give him a real shot!! - X
