Sports: Blue Jays Keep Adding Major Pieces - Now A Current Cy Young Winner
jays add r.a. dickey, current NL cy young winner

previously traded for jose reyes, mark beuhrle and josh johnson, perennial all-stars

also signed melky cabrera, current - though steroid tainted - NL batting "champ."

already have jose bautista and encarnacion - 40-50 homer guys

if the supporting cast can kick in more runs, look out!

dickey, johnson and beuhrle are accomplished pitchers, and should bring up the other two starters. watch out for starting pitcher morrow - he might become the best of the lot.

can the jays win 93-97 games?

starting piching

josh johnson
r.a. dickey
mark beuhrle
brandon morrow
rickey romero/drew hutchison/kyle drabek/brett cecil/shawn hill

batting order

jose reyes
melky cabrera
jose bautista
juan encarnacion
brett lawrie
adam lind
colby rasmus
j.p.arencibia
maciur izturis

plus an ok bullpen, maybe a solid one.

How to catch the Blue Jays


By Dan Szymborski | Baseball Think Factory

The ZiPS projection system estimated that the Jays' big trade with the Miami Marlins put the estimated talent level of the Toronto roster at around 90 wins, and this trade pushes that figure even higher.


Dickey's unlikely to be nearly 6 wins above replacement again...but he doesn't need to be a Cy Young winner in 2013 to push Toronto's playoff chances forward...Coupled with the Melky Cabrera signing, ZiPS now estimates the talent of Toronto's roster at 93 wins, making the Blue Jays the early favorites going into the season.
