I was thinking the same thing the other night, drawing parallels from the 2008 Jays to the 2023 team, though still completely different rosters. The 2023 team is far superior on paper.
Pitching wise, both teams had great rotations and BPs. 2008 team lost both McGowan and Marcum to injuries but Halladay and Burnett were one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball.
In terms of the lineup, the 2008 Jays had scrubs playing whereas the 2023 lineup has more fire power and actual elite players.
That 2008 team ran out players like Brad Wilkerson, Shannon Stewart, Kevin Bench, David Eckstein, and Rod Barajas. It was pretty bad haha.
