The Jays have had a pretty tough schedule to open the season. They've been entirely in the AL East save a series with the White Sox who at the time were the top team in the AL and the A's, who always have decent pitching.

The offence is certainly stuck in neutral with Goins and the Catcher position given the team absolutely nothing. Than you have very poor production from the first base position to add into that, below average from CF....it's a lineup full of holes right now. I hope a guy like Travis can get healthy at some point and still be able to hit because maybe he solves the first base black hole, although do you want to move a guy like him to that position?

For all the `awesome' prospects Ricciardi was drafiing and signing...this team has developed Sweet fata all for hitters in the last decade. Anyone who can hit like Bautista, Donaldson, or Encarnacion all came thru trade. Even the hitters they've traded off haven't exactly become much. I understand the need to focus on pitching, but at some point in time you need to develop one player who hits.
