He has a tough job in trying to keep up with the Red Sox and the Yankees in the A.L East. Wells and Rios are solid big leaguers but perhaps a bit overrated and certainly not worthy of the big contracts they got.
The Jays were three games in first in late May before they got swept in a nine-game road trip but even at the time, I didn’t feel they had enough pitching outside of Halladay. Injuries to other pitchers on the staff (Litsch and Purcey) really hurt them, then tried to replace them with young pitchers who were perhaps, not ready for the bigs. Right now, I can’t even name who their closer is or has been all season.
Lots of work to be done here and it will be interesting to see how the Halladay situation plays out
