I can't express in words how stoked I would be if Riciardi could somehow move Rios for Lincecum and then turn around and acquire Bay. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen.

I don't think the Jays would have the assets to get Bay. Let me rephrase that - they probably have the assets in guys like Marcum and McGowan, but dealing them off makes the expected Rios/Lincecum deal sort of irrelevant.
The outfield you described is pretty likely. Most teams only carry one outfielder on their bench, but when you consider Stairs will likely be backing up Overbay as well it's not too out of the ordinary. Having a line-up like that would provide a lot better depth when combined with the addition of Scutaro.
