Jays winning despite lack of production from big guns

It's a good sign that the Toronto Blue Jays are winning ball games (6 in their first 8), despite the fact that arguably their two best hitters haven't even hit their stride offensively...

Consider this. Alex Rios has hit just .24o, with zero home runs and 6 RBI, four of which came in one contest. Cleanup hitter Vernon Wells has hit for a good average but has a paltry 1 dinger and 3 RBI. It's a wonder how Adam Lind is tied for first in baseball with 12 RBI without the support of the "big guns" in front of him in the batting order...

Eventually Rios and Wells will start swinging a hot stick, so the best offense in MLB (wow!) should become even more potent. 8 games into the '09 season, isn't that a shocking proposition...
