latest poll in the Blue Jays website

Who is Toronto's most fearsome hitter?

Shea Hillenbrand
Eric Hinske
Corey Koskie
Alex Rios
Vernon Wells

IMHO Hillenbrand is having a good season so far but he is bound to cool off, Hinske is far from being a fearsome hitter, Koskie is looking good now but he still has to put together a good series for me to consider him fearsome, Rios and his 2 homers are not intimidating enough and Wells........see Hinske

Well usually all we have to go on is the "What have you done for me lately?" attitude. That being said, I guess Shea is the obvious pick.

Though if you mean lately in a really extreme and literal sense, Alex and Vernon could valid choices too.

Still though, we're only in mid-late May. We'll see how things are looking in August. Who knows when the Yanks current incredible play will end and where Toronto will be at that time?

you are right in your comments regarding Wells and Rios but to use the term Fearsome??????

well there's no "None of the above" option so I guess ONE OF THEM HAS to be considered fearsome. it's the team's own site so I guess they wouldn't put "None of the above", but if they did I wonder if that would be leading the poll.

None of the above has my vote

Kudos to Shea Hillebrand regardless

The majority probably miss him more at the plate though.

While Koskie is no Delgado offensively, the loss of Koskie is quite a significant blow. Especially due to the fact that there's no Delago.

Who knows? He could have been the deciding factor in about 5-10 wins to this point.

well then just picture this:

Johnson leadoff hitter
Rios batting second
Wells batting third
Delgado batting fourth
Koskie fifth
Hinske sixth

not a bad top of the line up
