It's hard to say because Tallet and Cecil aren't exactly our #2 and #3. Even factoring in the injuries to Marcum and McGowan, those guys were still not even our rotation to start the season. It's a little different if we had Litsch and Romero in there.
I'm not ready to throw the season away based on a loss to a knuckleballer (that the Jays always struggle with) and a game where their 21-year AAA pitcher gets rocked shortly after staying in the game with an injury (and could easily end up on the DL after the game).
The Jays might have trouble holding off the Sox/Yankees, but let's not forget that the Rays were able to with an equally unheralded rotation just last season.
