After that, just fill in the bullpen and it's all good.
It'll just depend on what other cards AA has up his sleeve, but we're extremely close to being one of the very top teams in the league.

As for the Tampa comments in the above posts here is an interesting article....

"Getting toe-to-toe with Tampa Bay was the first step, and the Blue Jays have done that. Now they're aiming higher, thanks to a lengthy series of shrewd moves. "
"We can compete with them [Boston and New York]," club president Paul Beeston said in January. "What we've got to do here, we've got to build this team up. We raise our revenues, we raise our expenses at the same time and our salaries. ... We should be a city that can have $140 million, $150 million in the way of salaries. We could support that, and that's the direction that we're headed."
Which is to say: Look out, Rays. And Yankees. And Red Sox.
