Also, I'm in favour of grass but where is the documented evidence that turf causes injuries? I guess the pitchers must roll around on the astroturf and rub their arms all over it?
I don't have the documentation. Players complain it is hard on the joints. I have only played a little ball myself on it myself and there is a difference. I don't have the longevity to say how hard it is but, MLB players say it is so.
People have been saying for years the Jays are in the toughest division in baseball. But my question is how does the 4th or 5th largest market say it is unable to compete.
Nobody was complaining when we went back to back that the east was to hard or money was a problem - we set the standard for the highest payroll in baseball and bought the best free agents to fill gaps in our club. But something happened with the winning attitude of Toronto with the strike of 94. How is it Tampa can compete and the city of Toronto can't?
People assume being in the central or west would be easier they currently have a record of .500 combined. so how would that mean life would be easier. To me it means they would be playing .500 ball in their own division and still below .500 against the AL East.
The only way the Jays get to the playoffs is changing the talent on this team. We have to many holes to fill. I don't see changing divisions as a way to the playoffs. The jays defense has to improve and starting pitching has to improve.
