The injuries really havent killed the team as much as they could have. the team folded with the players that were playing.
IMO the most costly injury was RJ, that guy is the sparkplug for the entire team.

I agree, but the rest of the injuries just add to the problem. For example a healthly BJ Ryan and healthly Brandon League would of made a huge difference. As for RJ I agree on that one, Jays do not have a hitter that is effective in the leadoff spot other than Reed in my opinion.
With the vast amount of injuries there is no way this team will pull together a long win streak which is needed to make them competitive. There just is not enough Pitching.
There have been some nice surprises for example Janssen, Marcum as a Starter and Accardo as the new closer have all been great in their new roles.
