I expected so much more from the Jay's 2011 Season and truly (give all credit to AA) when we really seen nothing positive come from it, the Miami move turned everything into "lets win now".
TDA is a few years away from being both a productive bat and a competent catcher in the MLB. The curve would be a lot harder on him in Toronto this year if somehow JPA disappeared and he made the team out of spring as this team is loaded with expectations and pressure.
Buerhle is a year older, Romero had a terrible year, Morrow was so good that he may not be that good again and Josh Johnson is still going to grow. Dickey is going to take a lot of pressure off this put together staff. I'd throw him out there on opening day.
With all due respect to Bal and Oak, the American League has never been weaker. It makes absolute sense with an old Yankees team and a terrible Bosox ensemble to go for it and go for it full out for the next 3-4 years.
Is it April yet?
