How important is defence at first base though? It's not like Lind is anything more than average defensively. So the difference here isn't that significant.
If Lind is going to produce at a 700 or lower OPS, than the team should be looking for ways to replace him as first base is a position where you should be getting at least an 800 number.
If anything, it's the idea of taking an everyday left handed hitter out of the lineup and putting a right handed hitter in. But if Guerrerro can come up and be a 750 OPS guy, and Lind continues to struggle...the Jays may indeed opt to go that way. Although in time, they have to be looking at first base as a position they need to upgrade. You can stop gap it this year, but they have to find a better long term solution there.
