I'd say it's not so much depth around him as depth below him. When the Jays are all healthy their bats are plenty good, amoung the best in baseball good... but the Jays are such an injury prone team so they're rarely that healthy. I'd be shocked if they're not top 5 in man games lost to injury over the past two years.
That would be fine if they spent some dough on bench depth or had a loaded enough rotation to suppress enough runs so that even with lower run support they could still win... but they don't so we are where we are.
