Scutaro soars in Jays' leadoff role

Bleary eyed and a little hoarse, he answered questions in English and Spanish about batting at the top of the Jays' order.

If the 33-year-old Venezuelan seemed a little tired, he had a right to be.

After playing every game for a Venezuela squad that reached the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic, Scutaro has also started each of the Jays' 14 regular-season games, batting leadoff and serving as a catalyst for the hottest offence in the majors.

So pardon his Sunday morning malaise.

Scutaro admitted he hasn't batted much leadoff in the past, but doesn't mind making the move.

"It's good," he said. "If I'm playing every day, I don't care where they put me."
