One has to remember Blair is a lifetime reporter who looks like he is going to fall over of a heart attack any second, and Barker tries desperately to relate his 320 lifetime MLB PAs to whats happening currently with the Jays. To put that in perspective Cola has had more.
That's not to say that ex-players who didn't have MLB success cant be very solid baseball minds(many are), but Barker has a credibility and content issue. "It is what it is" as he always says.
