Hill, Lind a surprisingly productive pair

Simply put, there is just one other 1-2 punch offensively in the Majors that has more combined RBIs than Toronto’s Aaron Hill and Adam Lind.


That may come as a surprise to many fans because the Blue Jays aren’t in the pennant race, and Hill and Lind don’t have an aura of star power attached to their names that more experienced and established players enjoy. They both entered Monday’s finale against the Tigers with 97 RBIs.

Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria (103) and Carlos Pena (100) and Boston’s Jason Bay (101) and Victor Martinez (97) had more combined RBIs entering Monday’s game. And with Pena on the disabled list with a broken finger for the remainder of the year, it is likely the Toronto pair will have a chance to take over that lead. And the majority of Martinez’s RBIs came with the Indians before a July trade to the Red Sox.
