The entire batting order could come back next season if the Jays want. Sign a starter or two and I'm not so sure this team won't be in the thick of things. I'd be more critical of AA if he brought in all pure rentals but he didn't. Shapiro better have some great moves up his sleeves are the entire Jays nation will turn on the organization......quickly.

I think you risk getting into this habit of relying on the FA market every year and never developing anyone. If your FA signings fail it's a bad season followed by another offseason of more FA signings.
I think Shapiro believes Price trade will come back to haunt the Jays. Losing 3 excellent pitching prospects was a high price to pay.
