Walk way to many guys and doesn't strike out nearly enough. He hasn't excelled as a starter at any level in the minor leagues to say nothing of the majors. He's a bullpen guy.

There's no way he get's 15M. THe Jays will almost certainly offer him a qualifying offer and those kill the market value on anyone who isn't an ace level pitcher and Estrada isn't an ace level pitcher. I think he'll end up at about 10 per on a 3+ year deal.

That's entirely to pessimistic. The Jays first half record did not reflect the actual talent on the team. They can contend with no major offseason additions. If they can somehow wrangle a legit #3 guy into the rotation They ought to be the ALE favorites again.
