But, puts a lot of pressure from the media squarely on his shoulders this offseason as the Jays look anywhere for positivity.
Young guys did fine, and Vlad had a great second half, fueled IMO by being able to hang out and share the HR Derby win with Teoscar, becuase from then on, he was hammering the ball. Bring back Teoscar.
But, lack of confidence and hitting carried over from last years debacle with the Twins, and excellent starting pitching and Jimi Garcia in the pen, couldn't over come the team scoring 1 or 2 runs in far too many games in April and May and that's where the season was lost...where if they played even a step down from last year, would've still had them in the playoffs.
A wasted year to say the least.
