said by shaner:Well, JP for Dickey is a trade I think most Blue Jay fans could live with.
If he's in the middle of the line-up, it's going to be next to impossible to score runs against this team. If Johnson returns to form, and Romero returns to normalcy, they can pitch games before and after him, since both have good fastballs.
As I said, I wouldn't want to face the Jays if I am a Yankee. Jays will need to be out pitched to lose games.
Now think about it, Jose should return to form, Melky should be a great left fielder, Reyes should be awesome up the middle, and I expect ungodly things from Rasmus in 2013, once he's all healed, and I pity the fans in level 500 right field that are not watching because they'll get a ball in the face, a Rasmus ball.
Jays can afford some injuries....they are getting that depth that they need.
We just need to get Laurie to take it down a level and no more camera bay diving.
This team should be interesting for the next 3 or 4 years. Hopefully by then, the minors will be replenished.
