Alex Rios.....

Why are Jays having him lead off? He has power and should be in the middle, IMO.

it's better than Stewart hitting lead-off and Eckstein hasn't been that good lately

and with Rolen back they can afford to let it happen, look at Sunday's game, Rios led off and he went 4 for 5 with 3 runs

[brewersfan19]

yea, I saw that. That makes sense thanks!!!

This guy is one of those 5 tool players that can be productive anywhere he hits in the lineup. He hits with power, a great gap hitter, and can move on the bases.

[brewersfan19]

yea, I know, I was just curious why the lineup change. That is all.

They should have never gotten rid of Reed Johnson. He was a productive lead off hitter for them which would have allowed them to move Rios deeper into the lineup.

But Rios hitting lead off is better than having Wells hitting lead off as he did for a bit last year.

[Halladay_is_God]

yes Johnson would have been 100 times better than keeping Stewart
