The Jays do have some positives.# Look at Rios he is really playing well,# plus the two young pitcher call ups.
I wonder if the Jays will make any more trades before the trade deadline on Saturday?

rios, bush, chulk and frasor have been excellent.
the starting pitching has been great. really if u look at batting average and era the jays are not that bad of a team. its timely hitting on offense and the bullpen besides the two young guys (chulk and frasor)... enough lightenberg and speier
trades? with cat req. offseason surgery, he might nto be wanted.
batista and lilly will not be moved unless we get a REALLY good prospect.
SOOO, i don't see any major trades, maybe those crappy relievers will be moved.
the jays will be good in the future, i like their minor league pitching with mcgowan, rosario, arnold, peterson, vermilyea, purcey, perkins, jackson. they will have solid pitching the future. the offense was an off year i think, its all the injuries

not so sure about chulk....
rios has been good, yes, but he really needs to get some power going on... [/b][/quote]
Rios is 6'5 and like 200 pounds, he can fill out that frame, he has to add some muscle and i am sure the the power will come. he hits lots of doubles, that shows he is hitting it hard, but not hard enough.
on another note, i think hte reason ricciardi has to postpone his 'contention' deadline is because we had so many injuries this year. McGowan is done probably until 2006 and he is our top pitching prospect which kinda sucks, but lots of pitchers come back strong after tommy john. He would have been a #2-4 starter on the team in 2006 if we were to contend.
Vermilyea recently threw a no hitter in double A, this guy has some good stuff.
lots of the pitchers i mentioned, i forgot about banks and league. this team is deep in minor league pitching. ricciardi helped to draft hudson, mulder, zito etc..... i think he knows what he is doing. Bush looks really good. Remember roy halladay almost threw a no hitter in his second start or something... bush almost did the same.
