i know you cant always blame injuries...every team gets them. But the Jays were extensive last year(yes sox too)

all im saying is if they stay healthy(even half of last year) and with the added talent this off season, i think they are a legit contender for a playoff spot after MANY years.

also i think there may be at least 1 more move coming. The Jays have an excess of catchers right now and someone needs to go...Arencibia, Buck, d'Arnaud

Yes, and I wasn't dismissing them either.  I think this trade is massive for them.  It's just rare to see THAT much improvement, so I'm playing the numbers game.  I still think NY and Tampa are better, but TB needs some bats to complement their stellar pitching.  I have Toronto getting third in the East at the moment.

That probably won't make much of a difference.

I'm sure every GM with chips to trade is inquiring about him.
