Good pitching will always trump good hitting especially in the playoffs. Jays have won exactly squat with Bautista and Encarnacion in the lineup. And I'm tired of seeing pissed off Jose stroke a monster home run while being up 10-2 but go down swinging with runners on and down by one. If they fetch pitching you do it. Jays have three players with guaranteed money after 2016 so they need to do something soon and then you see it torn down.
This current trade makes them better defensively and slightly better offensively. Not nearly enough to make a difference. Casual fans love to Jose launch pointless home runs as its pretty and nice. Give me a pitcher that gives your team a chance to win just about every damn time he's out there.
