With the addition of Johnson we now have perfect RHB/LHB balance. Does anyone else remember when we had that?

Escobar - R
Thames - L
Bautista - R
Lind - L
Encarnacion - R
Rasmus - L
Lawrie - R
Johnson - L
Arencibia - R

I guess people are already forgetting about Snider? I'm pretty sure we just had this RHB/LHB balance a month ago when we had Snider instead of Lawrie in our lineup .

We didn't have Rasmus then. There was only Thames, Lind and Snider.

I meant Snider, Thames, Lind, Patterson. Granted, all the LHB we have currently are better. I guess I'm just nitpicking here .

Edit: It was when Snider, Patterson, and Rajai Davis played OF (*shudder*, maybe one of the worst defensive outfield) and Thames was DH. I can see why you would want to forget this part of the season with that kind of outfield being regular. I can't believe how much the roster improved during the course of the season.

Was there ever a game when all four started???

Yup. This is one of them: http://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_07_19_seamlb_tormlb_1&mode=wrap&c_id=mlb

I'm sure there was a few more times.

I think the point is those 4 lefties were not regular starters together, whereas the lineup the OP posted is likely to be our regular lineup for the time being.

That's... kind of ugly. Wow.

Maybe we trade our entire roster for 9 switch-hitters!

BRILLIANT.
