As asked in another thread, who the hell is going to be leading-off? Bumtista?

We're trying to get rid of Overbay because he is expensive and, reasonably, hates Cito's guts, not because he sucks. But any of Ruiz, Lind and Dopirak can play 1B.

Who leads off? Lyle Overbay has a great OBP and doubles power... (But seriously, wait until we fill our roster out before worrying about that.)

Adam Lind

He not only can, but he did for his entire baseball career before becoming a Blue Jay, at which point they decided to move him to left. I think it's pretty clear that Lind is this team's long-term 1B.

Anthopoulos said a leadoff hitter would be their top priority (or at least one of them). Though I wouldn't be all that surprised if Cito just threw Gonzalez out there if they don't get anybody. You can't predict what he'll do.

What happened to M_T?! How did I miss what I'd assume was an eventful exit?
