LAKELAND, FLA. - Former Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland walked through the Blue Jays clubhouse and into the manager’s office without saying a word.
As he eased himself on to the couch, he picked up the blue lineup card in front of John Gibbons, took a glance and loudly exclaimed:
“Holy cow! Look at this lineup! You guys might not lose a game all season.”
As he spoke, his hand began to shake in mock fear.
What Leyland saw was a batting order of 1. Kevin Pillar, 2. Josh Donaldson, 3. Jose Bautista, 4. Troy Tulowitzki, 5.
