It’s not based on anything factual, just my suspicion.

The only reason I would put Lemahieu ahead of Springer is because he is a much more consistent hitter. He isn't a big swing and miss guy, which Springer is more so and the Jays have enough swing and miss bats in their lineup IMO. I also like the way Lemahieu goes about his business, he is very focused and professional, just goes comes to the park and puts in the work.
I also like his versatility around the infield. I think Biggio is very capable in the outfield and could be an everyday player out there.
I really like Realmuto as well, I like Jansen and Kirk, but I keep waiting for Jansen to break out offensively and I am not sure Kirk is ever going to be great defensively, Realmuto is great offensively and defensively. He would also add a lot of leadership to the locker room.
