Best player for half a season in baseball.
I am not sure how wide open the East really is. What would scare me most if I am Anthopoulus is how good the Rays are doing. The Yankees will add another pitcher and get Hughes back so they aren't going to get caught, the Sox are starting to put it together and unlikely to get caught, so with the Rays looking like they are better than expected not sure who the Jays beat out for a spot in the play-offs.
I think the best thing to do is stay the course and hope that with new play-off format that one of the top 3 will slip up some year and then the Jays can take advantage then.
