Okay let's end this:
Blue Jays in 2016 entering today:
Singles: 544 (27th in MLB)
Doubles: 189 (T-5th in MLB)
HRs: 150 (2nd in MLB)
BBs: 409 (2nd in MLB)
Elite power hitters up and down the order hit for both power and walk a ton. They're on base a lot. The home runs are an obvious boon, but this is hardly a team who "waits" for home runs. Or we could play like the Royals with their 693 singles, complemented by 90 home runs and 242 BBs.
