The JAYS are Coming the JAYS are Coming...with a BIG MOVE Here and a BIG MOVE There...the Toronto BLUE JAYS are poised to make a Move from the BASEMENT to the Top of the AL EAST..A CUP of the JOE in the SHOW Report "NORTH of the BORDER w/ BlueJAYS"

They have not stopped and they called the Off Season of 2012 one of their biggest as they have made Move after Move. The started it off with a Blockbuster Deal with the Fish of 305 and have not stopped. Adding a Player coming of the 50-Game Suspension List and a Knuckle Ball Cy-Young Winner from the NL the 'Jays have reason to have Not Hope but Optimism for 2K13.

The 'Jays finished 73-89 in the 2K12 Campaign some 22 Games back of the Bronx Bombers and now they are primed at least on Paper to turn the Around quickly in the 2K13 Season. Remember they missed Power-Hitter and OF Jose Bautista for most of 2012 and 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion didn't disappoint. Edwin hit .280 with a 42 Bombs and knocked in 110 Ducks off the Pond while scoring 93 Runs ranking him 4th in Home Runs, tied for 3rd in Ribbies, and tied for 11th in Runs scored. Now add all that up with a Healthy Bautista and SS Jose Reyes at the Top of that Jays Line Up.

The Pitching Staff gets Two Major Upgrades with LHP Mark Buerhle and Right-Hand Knuckle Baller R.A. Dickey. Now you have Two Top End Pitchers in the Rotation to go with Closer Casey Jannsen who had 22 Saves in 25 Opportunities. Let's take a Sneak Peak at the Projected 2K13 Jays Line Up.

1. Jose Reyes SS (pictured Right w/ Jays Gear on)
2. Melky Cabrera LF
3. Jose Bautista RF
4. Edwin Encarnacion 1B
5. Colby Rasmus CF
6. Adam Lind DH
7. J.P. Arencibia C
8. Brett Lawrie 3B
9. Emilio Bonafacio 2B

Utility Infielder: Maicer Izturis 3B, SS, 2B
Utility Outfielder: Rajai Davis LF, CF, RF

Then Top Half of that Order is a Monster and look for the 'Jays to make one more move to possibly get another Bat in the 5-Hole to protect Encarnacion as Rasmus is a 6-Hole Hitter.

The Starting Rotation will look like this for the 'Jays in 2K13

1. R.A. Dickey 2012 NL Cy Young Winner
2. Mark Buerhle
3. Josh Johnson
4. Brandon Morrow
5. Ricky Romero
6. J.A. Happ

The Closer Duties will go to RHP Casey Jannsen.

Its on Paper as an Upgrade and only Time will tell with the Orioles and Rays right there with the Bronx Bombers in the all of a sudden Top Heavy AL East and don't forget about the Carmines of the Hub.
