The jays are just too stacked offensively to worry about some old school mentality of having speed at lead off. Put one of your MVP type hitters up there and let them soak up the extra ABs. Tonight, those extra ABs to our best hitters were the difference in the game.
Goins and Smoak say hi.

Pretty silly statement.

Also, one game does not constitute proof for a lineup. Bautista had an off day and Pillar was hot. If they were switched, the game wouldn't have gone to extra innings. Amirite?
