Davis Schneider is the hitter the Blue Jays need in the leadoff spot

One-quarter of the way into the season, the Blue Jays are a bottom-eight team in home runs and on-base-plus-slugging percentage, fourth-worst in runs per game and next-to-last in OPS with runners in scoring position. Changing the leadoff hitter isn't going to fix all that, by any means, but there are reasons to do it beyond “it couldn't hurt.” Springer is off to a rough start, batting just .200 with a .563 OPS that placed him 156th among the 169 qualified hitters in the majors going into Monday's games. While no one has ever been able to figure out when a cold hitter will get hot or when a hot hitter will go cold, it's time for a new face at the top of the order.
