The division is the exact definition of parity this year.

I have to believe that they would be at least five games better right now without the injuries. The subs for these players aren't hitting too well, you don't think Grandy would have hit better than Wells, A-Rod better than Adams, Jeter better than Nix and Tex better than Overbay, just check their track record. A healthy Yankee team would be 10 games up on the Jays right now. You were quiet while the Jays were struggling but now they are the best team in baseball. Just for the record the Yanks won the East last year. You were the one that was wrong.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-74709600680173645552013-06-24T16:49:17.000-04:002013-06-24T16:49:17.000-04:00The Jays finished 22 games back last year with the...The Jays finished 22 games back last year with the Sox finishing 24 games back.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-22442301772905504282013-06-24T16:18:00.000-04:002013-06-24T16:18:00.000-04:00Tampa pitching 27th, and O's 29th, this doesn&...Tampa pitching 27th, and O's 29th, this doesn't set up well for the playoffs. Unless these teams do a complete about face, it will be the Tigers or A's who come out of the AL. The Cards look like the best in the AL. They have 2 stud rookies waiting in the minors.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-207857324670265992013-06-24T16:10:41.000-04:002013-06-24T16:10:41.000-04:00Pitching wins, and the Jays are 20th in pitching!Pitching wins, and the Jays are 20th in pitching!dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-726569418193745002013-06-24T08:07:34.000-04:002013-06-24T08:07:34.000-04:00the trade market seems better this year than in re...the trade market seems better this year than in recent years where the trade deadline has been pretty dullMatthew Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-37877713623791223932013-06-24T09:11:17.000-04:002013-06-24T09:11:17.000-04:00Nats are looking for a starter, send them Hughes f...Nats are looking for a starter, send them Hughes for Giolito or Cole, both are young pitching prospects.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-45200806855216530612013-06-24T09:27:07.000-04:002013-06-24T09:27:07.000-04:00Michael, the Jays have had their run, every team i...Michael, the Jays have had their run, every team in the East has the potential to make a run. The Rays have the pitching to run off 6 in a row, the O's have the hitting to do the same, while the Yanks have yet to put a group of regulars on the field. The season is a marathon with the Jays just being this weeks flavor of the week.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-50816583570672564802013-06-24T11:06:54.000-04:002013-06-24T11:06:54.000-04:00Doug, the most talented team doesn't always wi...Doug, the most talented team doesn't always win but it's certainly the team to bet on. In the case of the AL East there is simply no doubt that the Jays possess the most talent. With Reyes coming back it will make them even more dangerous. Would you switch the rosters of the Jays and Yankees as a Yankee fan if you could? I know I would in a heartbeat.<br>When I hear of the Yankee regulars coming back I really have to wonder who, if anyone, will help. Teixeira is obviously in need of surgery for his tear and even if he comes back I don't expect much more than the sad and sorry performance he has given so far this year. Granderson hasn't been of value since July of last year. What will Jeter bring? He hasn't played since early October of last year. Will his stroke be the same? Can he run? Can Nunez hit better than .200 when he comes back? Does A-Rod have anything left?<br>Last year you argued about the parity in the AL East. You were wrong. This year you are arguing about it again and again you are wrong. You argued with what I wrote two weeks ago about the Al East when 7 1/2 games separated all the teams, now you are arguing again when the separation is only 5 games?!!!
