LAST EDITED ON 11-26-12 AT 07:18 AM (EST)Sweet. Just got tickets (my brother got a flex tix package) for the April 5th game - John Farrell's first game back in Toronto. It'll be LOUD.
A quick comparison of a typical September lineup for the Jays to their upcoming lineup:
2011 .................. 2012
LF Davis ............. SS Reyes
3B Lawrie ............ LF Cabrera
1B Encarnacion .... RF Bautista
SS Escobar ......... 1B Encarnacion
DH Lind .............. 3B Lawrie
RF Sierra ............ DH Lind
C Arencibia ......... C Arencibia
SS Hechavarria .... CF Rasmus
CF Gose ............. 2B Bonifacio
When Yunel Escobar was your clean-up hitter, you know you've had major problems in your lineup.
Pitching - going from Romero, Morrow, Villaneuva, Alvarez, Jenkins to Morrow, JJohnson, Buerhle, Romero and Happ.
Major step up, and there's depth in case of injuries that wasn't there last year. Scuttlebutt has it that the Jays aren't finished with their moves (i.e. chasing someone like Brandon McCarthy or trading from their surplus at catcher to upgrade at SP or 2B).
