Man can they score runs. This is easily the best offense in the league. Defensively, they could play as well. I think theyre a top 10 D.
They have the fire power with Encarniacion, Bautista, Donaldson, Russel Martin and Reyes.
I love how the hitters are patient and work the count and force a lot of these pitchers to put one over the plate. It's great to watch to see them make opposing pitchers pay.
My concern is the pitching though. Starting pitching is average but is made up for by the offense. The bullpen doesn't have a legit closer and isn't a team strength. The Jays blew like 5,6 games this year and if they had a closer would be 10 games over 500. I'm tellin ya.
*I won't take anything away from the Royals. You know what? I wish the Jays had your bullpen. You guys beat us there. And clutch hitting? It's tough to say. Maybe the Royals. You guys had a lot of clutch hits in the playoffs last year and have the experience. But, lately the jays clutch hitting is coming along. It will be interesting to see the Jays and the Royals square off. I think we could take you guys on.
