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

Re: A Dark Horse?

I don't see it. The Red Sox and Yankees are stacked on offense, and have tremendous bullpens. If they need a starter, they'll go get one. The Jays' arms are always hurt and their lineup doesn't scare anyone.. Even with the question marks about Detroit's pitching, their lineup is the best in baseball and should carry them to 90+ wins.. easy.

Re: A Dark Horse?

I wouldn't say thats to bad now Suffy, Marco has been playing some great ball in place of Rolen hes had some pretty sweet plays catching line drives that he has no right catching. The pitching for the Jays has been Top notch though..lets just hope they stay healthy.

I just can't believe Gibbons is letting them run...

Maybe this is a different Jays team than we've seen the past several years.

Re: A Dark Horse?

Well, they just swept the Bo Sox, Thomas looked really good the last few games, I hope he keeps it up.

Johnny Mac needs to not run in to Vernon Wells like that again though >.>

Re: A Dark Horse?

I could have sworn they were in first place 6 weeks into the season on a couple of occasions. I'm almost sure of it. the Yanks were in the cellar one of the years..
