Assemble Your ALL-TIME Blue Jays Team

[Rockslinger]

Morris or Stewart, Morris, Clemens also should be considered.

David Wells too?

 

[bendova]

Cone? Winfield as DH?

 

[mandrill]

Morris, Cone, Stewart and Clemens were short-termers on the Jays. I opted for talented guys who spent the majority of their careers with the club and defined certain eras.

 

[mandrill]

I would assume Ward and Henke as 8th and 9th inning. Any suggestions for long relief and situational lefty?

For long relief, I'd suggest Dennis Lamp for his '85 season (11-0, 3.32 ERA, 105.2 IP, 1.164 WHIP).
Situational lefty, the first name that comes to mind is Scott Downs.

Cecil in right? A guy that is too fat to run and has no arm? I don't see a problem here.

 

[bigdik]

Morris or Stewart, Morris, Clemens also should be considered.

All 3 of these guys were Jays for 2 years. Cone was a rental.
There should be a spot for Wells.

damn the Jays had a lot of great players over the years

How could I have forgotten Mark Eichhorn? His '86 season was spectacular: 14-6, 1.72 ERA, 157 IP, 0.955 WHIP. If he had a few more innings he would have won the ERA title.

Glad to see Scutaro doing so well.

This +1

Need to put some playing time as a parameter. Some great but short termers have been mentioned such as Molitor, Cone, Clements, Morris. Then there was the likes of Winfield, Henderson, Parker, Singer, Wilson. I would set a 3 year minimum to be eligible.

 

[K Douglas]

Rotation

1. Doc
2. Stieb
3. Hentgen
4. Key
5. Clancy

Ineligible: Clemens, Cone, Morris

 

[The Oracle]

Some good players over the years but they do come up a little short in the catching department don't they?

J.P. for all of his short comings isn't looking to bad when you think of it.

 

[Rockslinger]

Too bad there is no room for Barfield, Mosby and John Macdonald.

Too bad there is no room for Barfield, Mosby and John Macdonald.

Only for one reason. They weren't good enough.
