Sure it makes it tougher but based on their talent level and how they have played teams overall I don't think the Jays are winning either the Central or West if moved into those divisions.

Because the Indians swept them once? How about the Jays sweeping the O's 3 straight series this year - that doesn't count for anything?
I could look at every half decent team in the MLB and find a series against a terrible opponent where they could have done better.
Pretty easy for a Cardinal fan (24th hardest schedule) to tell Blue Jay fans (t-4th hardest schedule) that it doesn't matter what division they play in. That's not just a 2010 thing either - over the last half of the decade, the Jays are consistently in the top 10 and usually the top 5 while the Cards are consistently in the bottom 10, almost always in the bottom 5, and have had the easiest schedule in the league twice in the last 4 years. Switch divisions and the Cards aren't World Series champs in 06.
