It's a gamble for sure, hopefully they've done their homework on Bieber. If he's healthy and his old self, he's definitely starting a playoff game, probably even game 1.
Always sucks to see a solid prospect pitcher go, especially one fairly close to MLB and excelling. But the Jays have built up quite a stable the last few years. Still have Yesavage, Rojas, Stanifer, Barrierra, Perez, Maroudis, King as interesting guys. Although more of them might be out the door today if they snag anybody else.
Still need another high leverage reliever.
