You can't predict each players performance and team success hinges on how core guys produce or don't. I don't see how the Jays are any different or how contending teams don't leave that to chance. That statement makes no sense

How does it not make sense? Can you Tell me another team that was supposed to contend for a World Series (not came out of nowhere to contend), that started the season with 2 essentially rookies on innings limits and not really a single pitcher that could be considered an ace? I can't think of one. They all go out and some spend some cash so they don't have a huge hole. The Blue Jaya really did nothing, and that's what gets people so riled up.
Did it work out for them? Absolutely in hindsight, but that wasn't by design, that was by chance. You don't going into a World Series contending season leaving something to chance.
