Double play combo is carrying the Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays came into this season with question marks at both 2B and SS. Aaron Hill had a lost season in 2008 due to a nasty concussion so the Blue Jays weren’t sure if he would be near 100% this year. Marco Scutaro had never been a starting player until this season and the Jays weren’t sure whether or not he would be able to handle the job. But, Hill and Scutaro have turned into one of the best double play combos in all of baseball. Hill has played in 141 games this season for the Blue Jays and he is 175 for 612 (.286 avg, .818 OPS) with 89 runs scored, 32 homers, 98 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. The power is very surprising for Hill as his career highs were 17 homers and 78 RBIs coming into this season. Marco Scutaro has also played in 141 games this season for the Blue Jays and he is 160 for 563 (.284 avg, .794 OPS) with 99 runs scored, 12 homers, 60 RBIs and 13 stolen bases. The coolest thing about Hill and Scutaro is that they are both “get dirty” effort players who will do anything possible to win a game.
