I personally don't care who starts opening night. But I am excited by the fact that our top 4 should be Buerhle, Escobar, Johnson and Morrow.
I also really like picking up Reyes, he is going to give the Jays a legit stolen base threat while hitting for a decent average. Buck should also provide more competition behind the plate to push JP.

Of course it is. But mark buerhle is the least 'big name' player in this trade on the Jays side. If the trade was 5 years ago I'd agree with his assessment.
