Just a small point, it's Tommy John surgery. It's not too hard to confuse some people on here.Has anyone ever had Jimmy John's surgery?
Absolutely correct. They were a .500 team before these injuries and that was their best case scenario going into this year. HOW MANY PLAYERS DO THEY HAVE WHO ARE ABOVE AVERAGE AT THEIR POSITION - OFFENCE AND DEFENCE COMBINED? Bautista in RF and Encarnacion at 1st about it. BELOW Avg. - 2nd - ss -LF. Romero is NOT an ace. I would rate the starting piching as average at best with no depth in case of injuries. The BP is below avg. as well. How does this tranlate into being an above average team in the AL East? The injuries will now become an excuse. This is what you get when you try to compete in this division on the cheap.
That's interesting but not that surprising. Big surprise is Baltimore's continued success but will it last?
Seems likely that AL East will provide the 2 WC teams. Jays 3 out of that position but Boston are not finished yet.
BP has been much stronger recently and batting is improving with Bautista, Rasmus and Davies finding more form, Lawrie maintaining his, and with Cooper replacing Lind. They have also found ways of winning some interleague games.
Obviously the big test over the next few weeks is how successful are they going to be with covering for the three missing starters.
Where are Buck Martinez & Greg Zaun? Have not heard or seen either of them lately. Not that it's a bad thing....
Zaun was only off for a series and has been back since last week. (I hear you about Zaun, but Jose Cruz Jr was worst...)
I don't know what your problem is with either one of them. I think they both do a good job.
Johnson has had a pulled hamstring lately and it has affected his play.
So I wouldn't include the last stretch in any evaluation of him as a player.
The Blue Jays are a last place team?
Think how bad those folks in Minnesota must feel....

Jays just signed a pitcher off waivers from the Angels
To bolster the bullpen, the Blue Jays claimed right-hander David Pauley off waivers from the Angels on Wednesday. Pauley has appeared in five Major League games this season, recording a 4.35 ERA in 10 1/3 innings. He is on the 40-man roster, but Toronto will need to make a move to add him to the 25-man.
Not quite the big name we need to replace Drabek, Hutchinson, and Morrow.
