It certainly is and that is an area that the Jays seem to lack with so many guys more worried about hitting a HR than just getting on base, but i haven't looked at the numbers so perhaps it just looks that way and the Jays actually do get on base.

4th most runs in the MLB. That seems like a good enough approach for me. It's not as consistent as you might like, but it's hard to argue with results.

If those runs come in big blowouts with multi-HR games while the team is losing close one run games because they are unable to get a guy home after a lead off single I am not sure that it is good enough. Out of a play-off spot right now and top 10 in RS last year and a 5th place finish would say that it is easy to argue with.
