Jays needed a guy who could hit for power off the bench. None of Francisco, Davis, Vizquel or Mathis can do it. Vladdy can, and as a bonus, can help draw Expos fans to the RC.
Don't think this is about pressuring Lind, though. He deserves it, but Vlad isn't the answer there. I think AA has something else up his sleeve there, but we'll all need to wait and see what that might be.
