Hi, I´m from sports1234.com Mexico. Which are the latest news about Roger Clemens?
The problem is that our GM didn't do a nearly good enough job in the offseason of getting the pitching that we desperately needed. Halladay and Burnett are a good 1-2 combo, but it's an enormous dropoff after that. At one point, there was talk of bringing back Ted Lilly, and also of signing Gil Meche. Either of those would have significantly helped the team, but we instead end up with Ohka and Zambrano.The offense will be fine, assuming Frank Thomas finds some bat speed. However, the failure to sign starters, along with a weak bullpen that has AAA-caliber pitchers like Shawn Marcum, will keep us from contending.
I love the Jays, but this season is done. We'll be lucky to approach .500, never mind contend for the playoffs. It's time for JP to step down, and to have someone come in to rebuild this team for the future. We've spent $80m, and depleted our farm system, and for what? Another year of watching the Sox and Yanks beat up on us.
Any idea what (if anything) a signed A-Rod ball from when he played in the Minors would be worth?
no help from the bullpenWho are some of the best players in the clubhouse in baseball?
As I answer this, the Jays sit currently 10 games back of the Bosox, but only 3 from Yanks and Orioles. So as much as the breath is sucked outta me when I see boxscores of 8-0, I can see there remains hope. Realizing that they are in a 9 game losing streak causes palpitations...but checking standings allows me to calm down...a bit. Then I see that not even Doc can stop the bleeding and my heart sinks lower than Schilling's bloody sock...Nobody can truly answer the question "what's wrong?" other than the players themselves. So many questions need to be answered first before the problem is found and dealt with. However, we all know that pitching is a serious issue, and has been for years for the Jays. It seems that they either get pitchers or hitting, but haven't been able to find both since 92-93. One or two starters and one closer do not a season make..and once the closer is gone..well, we all know what happens.
Riccardi may have had the right idea, but knowing and doing are 2 different things. Though not yet ready to give up on the team, I am even more certain that the Jays need a GM with vision beyond an objective. They need a GM with the 'smarts' to realize the objective. (See Colangelo) Unfortunately, this current team does not seem to have the ability to overcome the 'bad times' and fight through them. Sounds a lot like another Toronto team doesn't it? Filled with people who are great as human beings, but not good enough to do what needs to be done to succeed on the 'field.'
