No matter how bad this season may have crashed for the Jays going from 1st to where they are now, it would be NOTHING compared to Oakland failing to make the playoffs. If the Jays caught them I might wake up in the hospital.
THe Jays go years without developing a pitcher...they have at least 3 of them who could be 1-2-3 in the rotation some day with Stroman-Sanchez-Hutch. Or at least 3 solid guys in the rotation. Hopefully these "big three" works out not to mention some of the other guys like Norris and Nolin lurking.
Someone will have to take the fall. They really mortgaged a few years there with some of the players given up especially the Lester deal. That one made no sense for me since day one.
