And increased their payroll by a shit ton. Outfield looks over loaded now though.

 

[EnterSandman]

Lots of questions with the pitching rotation; Buehrle's probably the only one I really trust there. Johnson obviously has injury questions, Romero regressed a lot, and Morrow is unpredictable.

With that said, this team will be competitive and will be able to grab a playoff spot if it plays to its potential.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Trade an outfield bat for RA Dickey. Do it, do it.

 

[fordman84]

Boston better do something, or there is potential they will be in last place next year...again

 

[I cAnT wAtCh]

They better hope Buehrle is not the only trustworthy option because Buehrle is going to suck in Toronto.

Blue Jays mean business. I hope they take their division.

Why is that?

 

[Modhnoiri]

I guess he's thinking that since his numbers are soft against teams like the Yankees and Red Sox he'll suffer because he'll have to face them more often??

Beats me otherwise...

 

[I cAnT wAtCh]

Those long flyballs he allowed for outs here will be home runs in Toronto. He's facing better lineups in the AL East in hitters parks. He pitched in a pitchers' park last year and still allowed a lot of HR's.

He'll probably provide the innings but definitely overpaid. Had a subpar ERA on the road last year. 106 ERA+, nothing special.

#3 at best. More likely a #4 in that division.

I think Josh Johnson will be alright pending he stays healthy. They need Ricky Romero to have a bounce back year.

 

[General Lotso]

They may be serious about competing, but I still have my doubts as to whether they are legit contenders or just pretenders once again.

 

[powerchord86]

What I keep thinking is that they added all these players and they still have Edwin and Bautista ready to go.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

How is their pen looking? The bullpen is what seperates the contenders and pretenders.

Solid Solid team

Slide Dickey in there and move out Happ
Top 5 rotation and top 5 lineup

 

[powerchord86]

This will be a fun team to watch. Maybe people will start showing up to their home games now.

 

[Hambombs]

A lot Of risk with age but a lot of reward also. we will see. That team can probably make some noise.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Blue jays are still the Blue jays...have to prove it on the field.

Just bc you have good players doesnt mean anything, they have to mesh together

I predict they still dont get in playoffs

Very true. If you dont have a good pen, nothing else matters, at all!

Im sure they will. Jays attendance was up last season. Fans have been waiting for the big splash. Now its here. We will avg at least 38-40 a game
