I think the Jays need to find a guy that is a proven #1, preferably one of these pitchers that is spinning his wheels putting up Cy Young numbers on a lousy team year after year and wants to play for a contender. It has to be someone that can deliver now, not maybe in the future.
The more big name players AA signs, the easier it is to attract other big name players to the Jays.
The Jays pitching rotation (currently) is one of the worst in the AL. Dickey and Buerhle are spare parts at this stage. Stroman is an unknown. Who knows how badly he falls back in year two? You can't count on the other guys for innings and there's nobody else coming from the minors any time soon.
If the Jays get a #1 starter, they just might have enough talent to make the playoffs in 2015. Without an ace pitcher, they are right back to where they were in 2014: lost in the middle of the AL East and going nowhere fast.
