Another third place finish looms for this bunch.

Part of that is being mired in a division with the Red Sox and Yankees, but a fair finger of blame has to be placed on some eccentric personnel decisions over the past few years. I'm not sure this club has major league talent in the front office.

There will be a little bit of movement in the AL East this season, but not from the Blue Jays. I expect them to finish in a similar fashion to where they were last season. Scott Rolen and David Eckstein bring a solid presence to the Blue Jays infield, but these guys aren't huge difference makers. Their strength in the field remains with their star outfielders Vernon Wells and Alex Rios. Their pitching is good, especially with Roy Halladay as the ace and in the bullpen. If Wells and first baseman Lyle Overbay bounce back from down years in 07, then the Jays might keep it close down the stretch. Most likely it will be another 3rd place finish in the East for Toronto.

In recent years, we always seem to hear that Toronto could sneak up on the Yankees and the Red Sox, but they always fall short. Toronto generally winds up a few games over.500. Alhough not a low budget club, it's still one of those teams that needs everything to break right for them. Vernon Wells needs to rebound from a poor year, and closer BJ Ryan needs to stay healthy. Toronto added David Eckstein and injury prone Scott Rolen from St. Louis, but both seem to have peaked already. Frank Thomas had a pretty good year but turns 40 this season. Roy Halliday is one of the better pitchers in the league, and AJ Burnett has a world of stuff but needs to stay healthy for a full year. If kids like McGowan can come through for them and everyone stays healthy, they could have enough to make the playoffs, but it's fairly unlikely.
