Well don't look now as they just finish a four-game sweep of the Texas Rangers and they have come out of no where to get within four of the 4th place Rays and 5 1/2 of the 3rd place Yankees. Injuries from the jump hindered the 'Jays as SS Jose Reyes (pictured right) went down early, Bautista never started right out of spring training, and the New Players had to get acclimated as in prized 2013 Free Agents RHP R.A. Dickey and LHP Mark Buerhle.
As we go to press Jays First Baseman Edwin Encarnacion is leading the 'Jays in Bombs (18) and Ribbies (55), and 2nd in run scored with 42. Bautsista is 2nd in HR and Ribbies and 1st in runs scored. The 'Jays need both to continue on their ascent to the AL East Leaders.
From the Bump both 2013 Free Agent Pick Ups have been disappointing but they have pitched well of late. R.A. Dickey is 6-8 with a 5.90 ERA and Mark Buerhle is 3-4 with a 4.66 ERA and the 'Jays need a 3rd and 4th wheel to step up assume the Role of going to the Bump every 5th day and being consistent. RH Closer Robert Janssen is 14/15 in Saves and 1-0 with a ERA of 2.49 and when they get to him he usually closes the Door.
The Jays are coming and the AL EAst might turn into a five-trick pony!
