I do agree, however, that we'll get more quality starts than last season, I just don't know how much. Still overall I'm excited and I think we'll be in the mix for most of the season (hopefully at the end of the season as well).

I guess, what I mean to say, is that I think this team can still compete for the spare wildcard with the roster as-is. I do not think they can get very far in playoffs with the current pitching staff, nonetheless, I think they are very close to getting that final spot.
10 more wins is what it took last season. Is that possible, yes. Is it probably, no.
Would be nice to see the Jays at 90 wins though.
