As for Russ Adams he has 12 RBI's not to mention he has had game breaking RBI's in two of the last four games.
I believe Sylvan's point, which I agree with, is that your middle infielders - particularaly shortstop - needs to give you either stellar defense (preferably) or stellar offense. Neither Hill nor Adams offer either at this point, thus the concern. They are young, however, and should get better.

In my opinion the Jays biggest concern is starting Pitching. Obviously Josh Towers is a huge concern. AJ Burnett being on the DL for the second time is a big concern. Lastly the relief pitching has had problems two of the relief pitchers have been sent to AAA (Frasor & Chulk).
Heh, hopefully Burnett doesnt become another Sirotka or Hansen for us. Though really, I don't see another team in the division that has all the answers in the rotation either.
