I'm definitely no expert. But here's who I think is in there somwhere:
Happ
Cecil
Janssen
Delabar
Jenkins
Lincoln

Take Jenkins outta' there (he needs more time in AAA) and re-insert Loup and we have a pretty legit BP for 2013. Here's hoping that a) Darren Oliver stops playing the waiting game and comes back for 2013 b) Brandon Lyon gets re-upped...he's a good late inning/setup guy and c) we'll get Luis Perez back before a *possible* playoff run (doesn't hurt if we can add another lefty in there). Also I don't mind having Brett Cecil in the BP to start the year. His career splits with lefties spells "LOOGY".
I am still 50/50 about this trade and refuse to pencil in the Jays as automatic AL EAST/wild card winners, because if you haven't been following this team for the past -oh i don't know- 19 years or even 10, SOMETHING ALWAYS GOES WRONG with the Blue Jays. Not to be a negative nancy or anything but I am "cautiously optimistic" about 2013.

Well, the jays are already likely going to see a huge bump in their ratings, similar to what was 2 years ago to last year. I know I'll be watching every game or PVRing it. They've also sold a huge amount of tickets as well, and will likely average 35K per night, shocking as that might be.

I think I've read somewhere that when the Skydome opened, during the "glory years", the Jays were leading the league in attendance. It wouldn't surprise me if the fans starts to "re-embrace" the Blue Jays, specially in Toronto. That city is STARVING to root for a CONTENDER (Argos don't count).
