Is it because the big arm is always slotted to start and closing games is a fallback for a pitching prospect? On the current team Frasor has done it, and Purcey looks like he might be able to do it part time. Dotel might be top man in a committee. But no one has that nasty Henke stuff we need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-84887753701928005892010-12-31T18:05:59.511-05:002010-12-31T18:05:59.511-05:00This was the year the team turned the corner.

But it's not about what Dotel will do for the noncontending 2011 Jays... it's about what a second round draft pick might do for the 2012-17 Jays.<br /><br />Happy New Year, and thanks for all the insights in 2010.Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300900355234003897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-70428867959188543282010-12-31T14:37:19.404-05:002010-12-31T14:37:19.404-05:00Happy New Year!

Lot's of solo home runs, nervous ninth innings, frustrations with the development of some players (take your pick between Lind, Snider, Romero, Hill, Drabek, Cecil, Morrow, Escobar, etc.), and a slightly better than .500 finish.Peter DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025682416268680287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-87806191887372773652010-12-31T13:23:22.992-05:002010-12-31T13:23:22.992-05:00Well said, Ack.

PB has stated that when the Jays sign free agents, they will be "significant like CC Sabathia." While Pujols would likely cost upwards of $300mm over 8-10 years, it would be worth it as he would likely mean an extra 8-10 wins for the first 5 years of the contract and also help attract other talent. It would also make him a Jay as he begins to approach all-time records. With Gonzalez and Teixera manning 1st at the Evil Empires, the Jays should be right in the mix for the big man. Now that would give us something to look forward to entering 2012!<br /><br />Happy New Year!<br />JamesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-9505810235373889032010-12-31T09:36:20.094-05:002010-12-31T09:36:20.094-05:00Happy New Year to you Ack and to Tao, wherever he ...Happy New Year to you Ack and to Tao, wherever he is, and to Navin and all the Blue Jays fans.<br /><br />Good post. 2010 was a good year for the Blue Jays and they are indeed well positioned.
