This is another reason why I hate posting on this forum. You guys (not all, but most) are so hypocritical its comical. Why are all the Blue Jay pickups going to decline and/or get injured and when the same thing is mentioned about Rivera or Jeter (for examaple) you guys are so quick to defend them.
I saw nothing in either Buerle' or Reyes' games last year that indicates a decline in the near future. Hell Buerhle has been a 200 inning a year guy for a long time. So now that he is a Jay he is going to decline?
And if you mean filling holes with scraps; filling LF gap with last years NL batting champ°, filling SS with Reyes, filling rotation holes with last years NL CY Young winner-and two other TORPs. Just another asinine Yankee fan comment.
Go ahead and try to bash me. The reality is if you guys made the same moves you would be screaming World Series winners and planning a parade. On paper the Jays are better right now. Let's wait and see when they any the games. Just stop making stupid comments like "scraps".
But the blue jay's play in Canada...Nuff said!
Nice post. I dont get all the hate for JJ, Buehrle, Reyes and Dickey. There are some questions about health with JJ and Reyes but Dickey and Buehrle IMO are solid. If JJ can manage 20 starts and Reyes plays 140 games then look out. I would take the "scraps" the Jays got any day of the week. The Jays are for real and will be contenders.

Career-wise, Jeter and Rivera are hall-of-fame, elite players who are on another level than Reyes, Buerhle, and RA who are not hall-of-famers. Yes all players have question marks, but I believe the TOR players are more susceptible to the question marks with a new environment, age, different league/division. etc.
Thanks Donnie Baseball, B dAwK 20, and Poncho_707!!!
it's because no one knows how to put their Yankee fan bias aside to have a baseball conversation. When they say the Blue Jays are no different than the Marlins it would be no different if you came here and said the Yankee offense will be no different than it was the last two weeks of 2012.
I knew there were some levelheaded people in here. Its too bad you're not the majority.
If the Yankees added these same pieces to their line-up. World Series favorites, no question. They didn't and we'll just have to see how everyone gels on the Jays.
That being said, I believe that baseball is the easiest sport to gel in. My reasoning is that so much of the game is individual performance, as in a batter will hit or not hit the ball-he doesn't need his teammates help to do so. Same thing with pitchers.
Friend: I think the NBA paid off the Heat in the first yr because of the politics. They threw game four and they paid Lebron because they were angry with what he did. So he had pay one way or another.
F: Vogel doesn't run that team. Shaw does. If he leaves they are going to suck and Vogel will get fired.
