I definitely don't want to hear too much talk about the Jays winning the world series this year. I think they have the team to do it, but that is just setting everyone up for appointment's and a whole lot of I told you so's, also puts a ton of pressure on these guys who are just getting here and need to learn to work with the team, and to work with John Gibbons.
I think the Jays will have a great year, I think they will make the playoffs, but I am certainly not counting on them winning the world series!
have said that, Damn i am excited, I know my wife got me two Jays Jerseys for Christmas, cause I picked them out, Bautista Home Jersey, and a Lawrie Canada Day Jersey, (Red with CANADA instead of players name on the back). But I still went ahead and ordered a Dickey jersey, I will have his Jays Jersey before he does!
On paper this is the best team in the league.
to those saying they do this and still loose, no they don't, Alex Anthopolous' moves this winter will go down as on of the most successful off seasons of trades and acquisitions ever, even if they loose 100 games.
to those saying a few of these guys will go down and they will have no pitching, well they still have 5 other starters, 3 of whom won't make the roster (two of those still recovering from TJ). So even if Johnson, Burhle, and Dickey go down with injuries, they are no worse off pitching than last year, and have way better fielding / batting.
Lastly, Dickey won't go down with TJ problems, he is physically incapable of it, as he lacks the existence of a TJ ligament (Ulnal collateral ligament).
