Kind of Ironic that 2 of the former D-rays pitchers they brought to the majors and had fail (too early I might add in both cases), Gaudin and Kennedy would be the #2 and #3 starters for them, as they are both pitching great in Oakland.
Gaudin sure looks bad on JP too, given that he is one of the ERA leaders in the AL. Kennedy is another case because he was actually involved in a 3-way deal with the blue jays, where the Jays got Speier for Hendrikson and Colorado received Joe Kennedy.
So there is your Blue Jays connection.
