A Dark Horse?

A Shot in the dark?

As I was getting ready to write my MLB Season Preview stuff I got to thinking... Are we overlooking a Possible sleeper in the Blue Jays? They seem to have a pretty solid lineup including Wells/Rios/Thomas I like their "kid" of sorts in Adam Lind. They were 2nd in Bullpen ERA only to Boston and get BJ Ryan back. Up until the 5th starter they have no more question marks than anyone else. Roy Halladay is a solid excellent pitcher AJ Burnett(Provided he stays healthy) should be pretty good. McGowan and Marcum from what I remember are solid innings eaters. The only question I have is that fifth spot if they could get another pitcher to fill that I think they could be a Dark Horse in the AL. Granted it's pretty hard considering you have solid Cleveland/Boston teams. A New York team that won't flounder from the top of the standings and a Detroit team that only has major questions in Pitching. The only other Dark Horse I can think of is Minnesota because of their youth everywhere and to me what is underrated Pitching. Hernandez should be an ok innings eater if Liriano is back to form he'll be lights out. I absolutely LOVE Kevin Slowey. Scott Baker is another good innings eater with Boof Bonser. Delmon Young should add a little pop to the lineup and Gomez will add speed
And I don't think, you see the places inside me that I find you,
And I don't know, how we separate the lies here from the truth,
And I don't know, how we woke up one day somehow thought we knew,
Exactly what we're supposed to do.
So leave me, at the Roadside,
And hang me, up and out to dry,
