Goes back to the idea that you need power to win in the playoffs. When facing the best pitchers, it's hard to string together 3 hits, or two walks and a hit to get runs.
Jays do have some power, but adding at least one more power bat would help them for when the games get more intense. Varsho getting healthy helps as you'd have him, Vladdy, Bo, Springer, and Barger as guys who can hit 20. Kirk isn't being replaced, but maybe one more OF or 3B bat with more power would help. I kind of write off Santander myself...but at most I think you can have 2 guys like Luke's and Clement plus Kirk in a playoff lineup.
