Hill for only being "good" is tied for second in the AL with 31 HRs. Lind is 11th with 25. Lind is tied for 5th in the AL with Doubles... In my opinion Hill should get the gold glove at 2nd.
As for the comment "their isn't one batter on the team that another team would be concerned on" thats bogus anytime you have a guy on the team with 31 HRs the opposing pitcher is concerned.
Starting Pitching staff is almost all rookies (Cecil, Richmond, Romero and
Rzepczynski)
Any time you start that many young pitchers their will be a learning curve.
To say their is nothing impressve about the starting pitching staff is to funny, Jays have Marcum returning next season, Litsch should be back, not to mention Romero, Cecil, Richmond and Rzepczynski .... they have tonnes of depth.
Pitching has not been the problem the Jays have lost a crap load of one run games....
The Jays lack depth with the Hitters, that is the area they need to find a solution to. However they have a gold glove 2nd Baseman... I would bet Lind will be groomed to play 1st.
