5 Reasons Why The Jays are going in the right direction

5-  Drafting: Tyler Beede was not signed but there is no doubt that the Jays drafting has improved a ton over the past two years. The Jays are spending a lot of money on drafts and have had a lot of top 100 picks in the last two years. With all the free agents this summer the Jays will have even more picks. Good teams build from within and that is very obviously what the Jays are doing


4- Trades: From a team that was not active at the deadline to one that you can expect a deal at anytime! The Toronto Blue Jays have traded for the likes of Brandon Morrow, Yunel Escobar, Kyle Drabek and Colby Rasmus which will make this teams long term Core.

3- Young visible Core: From behind the plate, to Center field Jose Bautista is the only player in his 30s on the team. With three Rookies starting every night in Thames, JP and Lawrie the offense is looking bright. Romero has taken the next level and is very close to being considered one of the best in the game. Brandon Morrow, Brett Cecil, Hendeson Alverez are all above average pitchers and Kyle Drabek is still without a doubt one of the best pitching prospects in the game.

2- Jose Bautista: Baseball is not like any other sport, No one player can turn a non playoff team into one. However,Jose Bautista is arguably the best player in the game and is alone worth the price of admission. He can turn the game around with one swing of the bat and given the right protection in the lineup can take this team to the next level
