jays are the most complete team from starting pitching to power speed and pen.They are the favs by vegas for a reason just like det was last year

Yeah and Det lost

[bruins35]

Yeah and Det lost

they made it to the world seris not bad in my books

[lonegambler]

Stop it.. the tigers and angels are the class of the league

[BigDeem5]

Dickey will get hit... Best rotation is Nationals...

[lonegambler]

big bear u said burhle is better than morrow u said and then u state that morrow can win the cy young question is can burhle win cy young and there is your answer, it seems like u have a brain when it comes to baseball more like huggie bear or yogi bear ur a disgrace to not even see that u contradicted ur own opinon nothing but a joke

[zoo youk]

Dickey will get hit... Best rotation is Nationals...

i really dont get this whole "Dickey will get rocked in the AL"



WTF is the difference between an AL hitter compared to NL hitter that is capable of making them hit an 80 MPH knuckle ball that the PITCHER throwing it doesn't even know where it is going to end up going.

[lunchbawks]

tampa has the best rotation..cant even argue it

sf very good, oakland very good

Not after Tampa dumped James shields to the royals.

[sportsguy04]

Jays starting 5 will be the most redicolously paid staff and will not be good. Dickey is like 63 years old and will get rocked next year. Romero was a launching pad this year. Buehrle turns 71 years old this year.

Give me the nationals, reds and giants staff.

I like my reds:

Cueto
Latos
Chapman
Bailey
Arroyo

moving Chapman to the rotation is a horrible move. it never works out well ever. see kid from Red Sox, Neftali Feliz, i'm drawing blanks right now but i know the list goes on and on and on and on with multiple failures.

[gryfyn1]

like CJ wilson? Chris Sale?

[smitch124]

Its a great rotation no doubt, but in the end you have to perform on the field and stay healthy. Many pitchers will improve just as many will regress and many will be injured. Who the f**k knows who will be the best in the end. That's why they play the games and why sport is the best unscripted drama there is. Common I can't wait for spring training!!

Agreed. I rather see chapman pitch the 8th and 9th innings as a closer but no need for a set up man.

[zoo youk]

like CJ wilson? Chris Sale?

those are probably the only two exceptions over the past 5-10 years

[konck]

R.A. Dickey
Josh Johnson
Mark Buehrle
Brandon Morrow
Ricky Romero



Your Toronto blue jays

Get real Johnson coming off a bad year
Romero may be shot for good
Buehrle may be at the end of his rope
What the fuk do you even look at????

[bruins35]

you guys are forgeting if remero sucks and cant get his form back the jays can take villanuva from the pen and make hima starter,he was the best pitcher on jays last year wity morrow and happ wasnt bad either

[Jeffie]

tampa has the best rotation..cant even argue it

sf very good, oakland very good

How the hell can u ppl even consider any team having a better rotation over the Nats..?
You guys are crazy, Jays are def in the top 5 tho.

[boeing power]

Villanueva is a free agent and is very solid but he is close to signing with the cubs.

Happ would be a pretty good #5 but I think Romero bounces back.

Ricky was terrible but he's still young and has had 3 good years and 1 terrible season.

I expect ricky to win 13-15 games with ERA around 4.00

[boeing power]

I was obviously being a major homer Jeff.

Jays might have best rotation in AL though.

Of course they need to stay healthy and need Romero to bounce back.

No i know, wish angels were able to keep Grienke i'd be blabbering about how angels have the best starting 5.

[PhillyFlyers]

Phillies

Halladay
Lee
Hamels
Kendrick
Lannan

Anytime Cole Hamels is only your 3rd starter, you must be doing something right.

[Mantle7]

I think Detroit's starting 5 blows the Blue Jays 5 out of the water.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Now if only the Rogers Centre was a pitcher's park...these poor pitchers are going to get blown to bits next year...mark my words!

[stealthyburrito]

Wont even make the playoffs.

Stopped reading after this post. This one says it all concisely and is all that matters. Jays trying to become relevant again but just won't happen with the behemoths in the AL east

[Hench]

I'd take Kris Medlen over any starting 5.

[Deuce]

Jays 8/1 to win 2013 word series.

Money talks bullshit walks

Worked well for the Yankees, huh?

[Killer_Demo]

Cain
Kershaw
Strasburg
Lincecum
Cueto

[stevenash]

R.A. Dickey
Josh Johnson
Mark Buehrle
Brandon Morrow
Ricky Romero

Your Toronto blue jays

I'll take this starting five over your starting five.

Medlen - 10 and 1 1.57 ERA
Tim Hudson
Brandon Beachy - stuff is electric

Minor and Maholm > Romero and Morrow

[HOT WINGS]

I think Detroit's starting 5 blows the Blue Jays 5 out of the water.

I agree top to bottom there better only spot Jays could make argument is Romero vs Porcello but Porcello was a lot better than Romero last year. When's last time Jays made playoffs? Can't just buy a championship team in a year. Going to take some time

[keyboarding]

jays are the most complete team from starting pitching to power speed and pen.They are the favs by vegas for a reason just like det was last year

Toronto's bullpen is a complete cluster fukk, pal.

i really dont get this whole "Dickey will get rocked in the AL"

You don't understand the difference between the lineups in the AL East (where a majority of games are played) and the NL? Are you being serious?

[sparky12]

Okay not the best in majors but best in American League. Jays are best team in baseball though.

[Brock Landers]

Romero was the BEST fade in baseball for a majority of last season

[Brock Landers]

I'll take this starting five over your starting five.

Medlen - 10 and 1 1.57 ERA
Tim Hudson
Brandon Beachy - stuff is electric

Minor and Maholm > Romero and Morrow

Medlin shit the bed vs st Louis something fearse in the playoffs

[ROYAJA8]

Dam noone has mentioned the great Dodgers team. 1. Kershaw, 2. Grienke, 3. Billingsley, 4. Beckett, 5. Ryu add maybe Capuano instead of one of them. Next I would go with the Nationals with the combo of the great Stasburg and Gio, and 3rd the phillies if those big 3 finally step it up and earn that money.

[19th Hole]

R.A. Dickey
Josh Johnson
Mark Buehrle
Brandon Morrow
Ricky Romero

Your Toronto blue jays

thats a joke to say....

You embarrased yourself sayin that...

Morrow is the best of the bunch... Romero and johnson velocity down and regressed last year..... buehrle and dickey will get shelled in a.l.

Strasburg, gonzalez, zimmerman, haren, and detweiler... thats WAYYYY BETTER than jay staff...

Wont even make the playoffs.

Strasburg, Haren, Gonzalez and Zimmerman would all be the #1 or #2 guy in Toronto. There's an argument to be had that all 4 would be the ace there.

Dude, you are delusional if you think the jays even compare to the tigers or angels....

Still not as good as the Braves starting 5.

Not even the Best in the AL East

Ricky Romero was horse shit last year. The good thing now is he's the #5 starter and will be pitching worth his slot.

Nationals, phillies and giants have better pitching.

There you have it.
