Ouch, This Really Hurts


After finishing ahead of the Red Sox last season, a $90 million payroll, and the signing of free agent, Frank Thomas and a contract extension for Vernon Wells, there was some reason to be optimistic about the Toronto Blue Jays. With a 1/3 the roster on the Disabled List, they will be fortunate to avoid losing 100 games. For the record they are missing:

#1 starter - Roy Halladay
#3 starter - Gustavo Chacin
#5 starter- Victor Zambrano
closer - B.J. Ryan
setup for closer - Brandon League
leadoff hitter- Reed Johnson
all star 3rd baseman - Troy Glauss
starting catcher - Greg Zuan

And its only 5 weeks into the season.
