So we'll get a time machine go back and get Lind from 2009 and move him?
Really though I'd rather keep JP for another year at least until we see if D'Arnaud replicates his excellent year. Catchers with JP's power don't grow on tree's he's valuable even if he never has a high AVG/OBP.
Maybe sign Fielder in the offseason and then offer to trade Lind to the Brewers (since they'd be needing a 1B and all). But I agree with the above, the Jays pitching (apart from Romero) just hasn't been good enough (Not that that should be a surprise... you can't trade guys like Halliday and Marcum and expect the pitching not to suffer). The Jays really need to pick up a legit top half of the rotation starting Pitcher I like Cecil as a #4 or #5 guy but when he's your #3 you have issues. The bullpen doesn't bother me, RP aren't a rare commodity maybe splurg on a lefty but the rest of the Pen is easily replaceable internally and on the open market for relatively cheap. Darvish would be money... that guy just has filthy filthy stuff.
