What AL team has a model you totally disagree with?
Well the model I would agree with is the one that has taken the Rangers to the World Series the last two years, has made the Devil Ray contenders for the last 4 seasons. Baseball is not an even playing field, to be successful over a long period of time, the Jays need to draft well, have controlled contracts and be patient. If AA had the flexibility of the Angels or Yankees I bet there's things he'd love to do.

The Baltimore Orioles have a model I clearly disagree with. They were just as bad as the Jays were 3 years ago, and while the Jays have done nothing but get better in almost every aspect, the Orioles continue to be a joke of a franchise and signing below average-average free agents that you have called on the Jays to do to "bridge the gap".

Playing in the toughest division in baseball, where they stand right now and stood 3-4 years ago, with the amount of payroll they have, the best examples would be the Tampa Bay and Baltimore.
