Auditing The Toronto Blue Jays 2008 Season
Despite the best pitching staff in baseball, the Jays were bystanders looking on at the Rays bust up the Yankee/Sox AL East monopoly.

2008 Season Preview: Toronto Blue Jays
If Toronto was in the AL West, it would be a whole lot easier to like their playoff chances, but the AL East will be even more brutal in 2008.

The State Of The Franchise: Toronto Blue Jays
Despite below average seasons from Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay and Troy Glaus, the Blue Jays did manage to be four games over .500 and also had one of the finest Pythagorean records for any team who didn’t qualify the playoffs. Over the next two or three years, the Blue Jays must be opportunistic in the AL East chase because both the Yankees and Red Sox will be transitioning.

Are The Jays Really Ready To Win The East?
The Blue Jays are everyone's dark horse favorites to supplant the Yankees and Red Sox in the very difficult American League East. We breakdown the rosters position-by-position to see how real the possibility is for Canada's team.

Reed-Ing Johnson
If there ever was a player rebuilt in the mold of Lenny Dykstra, it’s Reed Johnson. He is an all-out hustle player, who chips in home runs, steals bases, plays good defense, gets on base, and most importantly, he enjoys the game. Johnson is also the key to the Toronto offense.

How Many More Mistakes Can Gibbons Make?
When John Gibbons had the "interim" banner removed from his managerial title in 2005, it was widely regarded as a good move. "Gibby" was seen as a different kind of manager in the clubhouse; a players' coach and a manager who could do no wrong to his players. In 2006, some wrongs have moved to the forefront and have caused baseball observers to question whether or not Gibbons is the right fit for this up-and-coming Jays squad.

Dr. Gibby Or: How I Went From Bullpen Catcher To Manager In Two Years
Until a month ago, I had a fleeting hope that Cito Gaston was still the manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Little did I know their current and very entertaining manager began his tenure with the Toronto organization as the bullpen catcher back in 2002. Theo Epstein got his start in San Diego holding a radar gun, so there's nothing wrong with ladder climbing.

Toronto Hurts Market For Other Clubs
With their recent deal being reported that would give closer B.J. Ryan $47 million over five years, Toronto has once again fell prey to the plague that always keeps small-market teams away from contending. The plague is wasting money the only chance you actually have some and then placing your franchise in even worse shape than before.

The 2008 Reina Value And FIC

For the 3rd time in four years, Pujols was the best in the MLB while Lincecum had the best Reina Value. How did all 1,296 major leaguers perform in relation to their contract?

Previewing The ALDS

The Angels and Red Sox will score a lot of runs, while the absence of a dominant starter for the White Sox could be the difference.
