I agree with the premise generally, but I think the Jays are an exception as any team ranked #1 in runs scored and #30 in runs against would be. You never see that odd combination so it's hard to wrap your head around it. The Jays don't need to be #1 in offense to make the playoffs, top 5 is more than adequate. They also need to be better than bottom 5 in ERA if they want to have a chance. I know what position I'd be shoring up if I was the GM... but I'm sure you'd say it would be just as good to trade EE and JB+more prospects for upgrades at 1B and RF, if they were on the level of Tulo>Reyes, as it would be to trade them for some actual decent pitchers.
