Jays
The Jays seem to be backsliding, Frank Thomas notwithstanding. Thompson essentially is replacing Ted Lilly, no? Thompson will have a 5-plus ERA in the AL. I hope he's healthy, because the Sox will destroy him.

And I wonder how his new teammates will take to him trashing his old teammates. Kind of a bush-league move, if you ask me. Between him and Thomas, the Jays clubhouse just got a little less charming.

Re: Jays
And it was certainly charming to begin with too, heh.

Backsliding maybe, but the Blue Jays probably look to Thomson to replace the starts Josh Towers completely botched last season rather than Ted Lilly's.  He's a step forward in that direction.

Blue Jays: Halladay, Burnett, Chacin, Thomson, ?.  My guess is that the Blue Jays may put forth the money for Tomo Ohka?, and he becomes their 4th (or 3rd above Chacin) in the slimmest of margins.  5 injury risks, and only the first two are scary whatsoever.

Also, most of what I read about Thomas in the A's clubhouse last season was that he was a non-entity in either direction.  My guess is, as long as he's mostly healthy, he'll be better for their clubhouse than this outstanding individual.

I can't believe the Braves won NL East banners with Russ Ortiz as the ace of their staff...
