Did the Blue Jays stack up for a run this season or what? They worry me. I still can't believe Miami fire saled everyone and Toronto was the first one to the register. I just hope our pitching is as good as I think it is.
[/quote]Miami is such a joke they are the worst run organization in all of sports, they are like a fusion of the astros, bobcats, browns, raiders, and cowboys.

I can't wait to see how Machado improves.


If McLouth plays like he did last year, and Reimold stays healthy, we would seriously be dangerous.

McLouth
Hardy
Markakis
Jones
Wieters (please break out this year!)
Davis (35+ HR's this season? Hopefully he does as good at 1st as he did RF).
Reimold/Betemit (Hopefully Nolan is primary DH).
Machado (Full season baby!)
Roberts/Casilla (I miss Andino )

Who do guys think will be the 5th starter? It's really up for grabs. I think these 4 have their spots locked up in the rotation.
Hammel
Chen
Tillman
Gonzo
??????

Don't know if Jurrjens passed his physical yet...so it will likely be one of the calvary of, Britton/Matusz/Arrieta. I'm predicting Britton has a break out 12+ win season.

It would be so awesome if Jurrjens breaks out and plays like he did 2 years ago. I'm really hoping for that. He would be steal of the year in that case

Yeah I agree with that and I have always thought that Britton has the skill to break out. Hopefully this could be the year!

There's no player on the O's I hope breaks out as much as Wieters. I'm really hoping this is his year.
