Re: Jays sign BJ Ryan, 5 years/47 m

[ QUOTE ] Lights out for the past two years. Way better than average the year before that. Clearly the best "young" reliever on the market. [/ QUOTE ] Can 29 really be considered young? I know that he could still be pitching in 10 years, but I think its a stretch call him a "young" reliever. [/ QUOTE ] 30 is the pinnacle in my book. in a roundabot way anyways. |

Re: Jays sign BJ Ryan, 5 years/47 m
[ QUOTE ]
It was important for the jays to start signing good players after they got the television deal in Canada. Improving the pitching is key obviously, too bad no team in the AL East can make the playoffs because of the Yankees and Red Sox (unless some kind of miracle). [/ QUOTE ] Obviously I am biased because I am a Jays fan, but last year without Halladay getting injured they defintley are a over 500 and maybe as many as 90 wins. IMO Halladay + Burnett + Ryan can add 10-20 wins to a 79 win team last year. Also Russ Adams, Aaron Hill, Rios, Gross, Chacin, are all getting better IMO. Than again for those guys a sophomore slump or plateau argument could be made just as easily. It appears as if the Yankees are getting worse this offseason, and if the Red Sox deal Manny they will also be getting worse so don't count out the Jays. |

Blue Jays won 80 games and underperformed their pythag by 8. They have a strong shot at the AL East this year.

What will the Orioles do for a closer now?
Who's this Burnett guy on the Jays? Did they get A.J. Burnett? |
