There may be myriad reasons to explain why the Blue Jays are off to such an outstanding start.
There's the resurgence of corner infielders, Scott Rolen and Lyle Overbay.
There's the emergence of two young sluggers, Adam Lind and Travis Snider.
There's the surprising work of the unheralded starters and then, of course, there's the return to the lineup of a healthy second baseman, Aaron Hill.
"You never take things for granted," Hill said of his four months on the disabled list last season.
"It's just the fact that you forget how easily things can be taken away. So you go through something like that, and I like the fact that I can look back at it and remind myself and just be thankful I'm doing it again."
There were some who said after all that time off due to concussion, Hill could return to his 2007 form, when he hit .291 with 17 homers and 78 RBIs in 160 games. He has, thus far, proven his detractors wrong and is in the mix of a stunning group of second basemen plying their trade in the AL this season.
