I don't see how paying for the bullpen is going to eliminate AAA injury call-ups from blowing the odd extra inning game. Kinda funny that the Jays should allegedly be dumping money into the bullpen when the two guys who are actually getting paid (Storen and Cecil) are the guys dragging everyone else down.

The Jays didn't dump any money into Storen, they switched contracts with Revere and demanded Washington paid the difference while creating a huge hole in their lineup. Storen was trending downwards ( though I was happy at the time because all I thought we were getting the 2012-2013 Storen).
The Jays cheaped out with Storen. He was basically a crap shoot, but a name that that pissed off people about the lack of signings would know and be off their book after one season.
