The Jays are actually a top five offense in the League. 2nd in AVG, SB and TB, 3rd in OBP, HR, Hits, Walks and Runs 4th in Slugging. <br />Granted, the One Man Gang makes up for a lot of low production elsewhere, but he is still a part of the offense. So what does it all mean? Well, I was hoping you could tell me.

I mean, to get to the MLB, you have to be really good -- like you were the best athlete your highschool ever had in 6 sports and you finally choose baseball and you make it all the way to...the bench of a non-contending team. I wonder if those guys think of themselves as "holes" in the lineup.<br /><br />The other thing I keep reminding myself of is how many holes we would have said the Giants had last year. <br /><br />There are 110 games remaining in the season and I hate to consider them meaningless tune-ups already. Then again, I've seen many big splashy moves come and go since 1993 -- I shouldn't get impatient now.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912862811538785600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-27430926917407096692011-05-29T07:47:13.472-04:002011-05-29T07:47:13.472-04:00I was just talking about this a couple of days ago...I was just talking about this a couple of days ago. Right now, there are 6 guys, maybe 7, on the team who I'd consider 'key pieces': Romero, Morrow, Drabek, Bautista, Lind, Arencibia, and maybe Escobar. None of those guys would look out of place on a championship team.<br /><br />If you consider that a baseball team needs 4 solid starters and 9 starting position players, that means that the Jays have 6 or 7holes in the roster that could be filled with a Big Splashy Move.<br /><br />That's a lot of holes. Sure, maybe by next year, Snider and Lawrie and Cecil and others will have filled some of those spots... but a lot of things need to break right tp justify the team making a run at contending in 2012.Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300900355234003897noreply@blogger.com
