JAYS VS YANKS VS RED SOX (2B and SS)

Second Base

       Yep, the dreadful second base! The Blue Jays  second base crew has hit for a .232 average, The RedSox .311 and the Yanks .299! The Jays  60 RBIs from seconds base is well behind the 74 for Boston and 98 from the Yanks. Aaron hill was not the answer and Kelly Johnson has only had 26 AB (in which he has been impressive). Without a doubt a return to the old from Hill would have really helped this team on the year but now the Jays are hoping they get that from Kelly Johnson. The direction in unknown in the off season, however I belive that the Jays future second base man is playing Minor league ball somewhere in some team. The Sox probably have the best second baseman out of the three team but the Yanks are very close. The Jays clearly need to decide what they are going to do there. Lawrie is NOT moving back and Hech is one year away. 2012 maybe for a Kelly Johnson type of guy getting one last chance as Toronto is concerned.                                             

Short Stop :

     I promise its only going to get better from here on for the Jays! Yunel Escobar just had a monster couple of games,collecting 8 hits with a couple of four hit games. The Jays short stops have hit for a .293 average, That number drops down to .256 for the Red Sox while the Yankees have hit for a respectable .287.  There is one thing that the Jays have that the other teams do not have. Escobar is the youngest starting shortstop on the three teams, the best defensively and the best offensively. Derek Jeter despite going on a tear since his 3000th hit is not half the player he was, his 4 long ones would agree with the fact and Scutaro is far from an elite shortstop.
