Saunders is going to be hitting middle of the order for sure. He is a plus fielder (much better than Melky) and I wouldn't be surprised to see him hit more then 20 bombs with a decent slash line in the AL east.
As a whole the jays are much better positionally and more balanced offensively then last year already with more moves likely to come.
