I love your idea, it makes a lot of sense. AA could easily flip Price in the winter and get a MLB ready piece back in the deal which would help towards the 2015 team as well.
Go get Price and then what? Where is the money going to come to fill out LF, CF, 2B, CL, etc.... Price would eat up all the remaining payroll and we would be even worse depth wise next season.
They are the best of the three. If Tampa creeps up a couple more games than the Jays will be in big trouble, if they aren't already. The Jays need to take care of business against the Astros or it could get ugly.
Guess you missed the part where I said for me. Not everyone needs to act like a pretentious prick. Let people like what they like and if you don't then you don't.
Anyone who discounts the Jays in 2015 is out to lunch. The division is weak and the Jays may have holes, but so do all the other teams. A lot of payroll is coming off the books and the Jays still have 4/5 of the rotation locked up for 2015 with Sanchez, Norris and Nolin knocking on the door for a rotation spot. This is a team that should at the very least be a WC contender next season.
It's definitely not out of the question, but it will be tough. If the Jays can roll through the Astros things will get even more interesting with Lawrie expected to rejoin the club next week.
Yanks losing is big. If the Jays are not going to close the gap in the division then widen the gap in the WC race. The team is in an interesting spot right now.
