If the Blue Jays do nothing, they likely hand the division over to the Red Sox, but this is a winnable division. I dispute the argument that the AL East will obviously require 95 wins next year. Maybe it will, but its not obvious, and Greinke can certainly turn them into a 90-win team. Once you are there, a little bit of luck to slightly outperform your pythag is all you need.
The reason why Tampa Bay will fall back is obvious. The Yankee lineup is getting seriously old at this point, and Petitte will likely retire. If the Blue Jays dont think they can match the Red Sox, thats fine but I would be pissed as a Blue Jay fan. It makes sense for the Royals to hoard their prospects and not care about 2011, but when you do get within striking distance you have to go for it.
As the old saying goes, "prospects are nice, but flags fly forever."
