It seems like we’ve been talking about the same thing every spring for the last several years now as fans of the Toronto Blue Jays, and a bunch of roster turnover and even a new manager hasn’t changed things. I’m talking about the need for a leadoff hitter, something the Blue Jays have lacked for a long time.
On Friday their new skipper Charlie Montoyo addressed that very topic, and even named a few of the potential candidates (we’ll get to that in a minute). While there are a few players who could theoretically fill the role, I wouldn’t go as far as to say there’s an obvious choice, which is why the topic is coming up again.
