Lind started out okay, got injured, came back and was on a serious roll. I think he was hitting around .325 and slugging at a .550 clip. Than the wheels fell off.

I remember an interview after he hit his 100th career home run, and he sounded like a guy who felt he had nothing more to accomplish. I was expecting him to say hit like I did in 2009 and do it consistently. Instead he says I don't know, keep hitting 20 home runs I guess? They even asked him what about 200 home runs and he's like I don't know...

I certainly was bit surprised, and it didn't seem like a motivated guy who wanted to be better. A lot like a Jay Bouwmeester is what he sounded like. I think a team like the Jays should be targeting .825 or better OPS from the position. If Lind doesn't give you that, I think you have to look to replace him.
