I would say 74 wins.. Jays are going to struggle with their starting pitching staff this season. Hopefully they stay healthy.

I really like Purcey and Litsch, but as number 2 and 3 guys in this division, its going to be a long season.

The Blue Jays really remind me of the Oilers. Fundamentally flawed, and totally unwilling to admit or address those flaws.
MVP - Doc
POY - Doc
ROY - Richmond (love that Cracker-Cat bias)
Surprise - Wells', but it's an unpleasant surprise
Surprise II - JP doesn't get fired. Another unpleasant surprise
Wins - 85

Blue Jays announce opening day lineup:
SS-Scutaro
2B-Hill
RF-Rios
CF-Wells
DH-Lind
3B-Rolen
1B-Overbay
C-Barajas
LF-Snider
P-Doc
I love Scutaro from his time with the A's but is he really going to bat leadoff on a regular basis for the Jays?

Jays have no other choice for a leadoff guy. Rios was leadoff last year for awhile but the Jays need to place him at 3rd for his power and RBI potential.

any more than 70 wins and I'll be shocked.
Man, that rotation blows even with Halladay.
The line-up is also crappy too.
Awesome.
