BTW on a related note, one of the most under-rated best bargains in MLB this season has been Reed Catalajohnson. What a player!
I agree, the cost is to high. The Jays are better off being a "Seller" and trade guys like Lilly and Hillenbrand. I believe both of those guys are in their last year. Jays could get a great return and make a drive next year. At this point I don't believe the Jays can win the East and the Wild Card is out of the question.
