The Toronto Blue Jays continue to be the favorite to win the American League East in 2013. This club is simply loaded in the starting rotation and at the positions. Few other teams in the MLB can brag about having this many work horses on the mound along with a couple power hitters in the batting order and enough speed on the base path to scare any other club. Yes, Toronto Blue Jays tickets to Rogers Centre are perhaps the best tickets in baseball.
R.A. Dickey, Josh Johnson, and Mark Buerhle are going to amass 600-plus innings at the top of the rotation. If Brandon Morrow and Ricky Romero can stay healthy then the Toronto Blue Jays starters are going to make the bullpen’s job significantly easier.
The offense is making the entire pitching staff’s job downright simple. Somehow the combo of 1B Edwin Encarnacion and RF Jose Bautista is the most dangerous power combo in the MLB. In addition, 3B Brett Lawrie’s production is making up for any bit of regression from LF Melky Cabrera and SS Jose Reyes. Still, Cabrera and Reyes are good enough to include this group among the best this season.

After the MLB had moved as many teams out west as they possibly could, the league needed to find a new direction in which to expand. That direction would be north and the Toronto Blue Jays would be one of two Canadian clubs to join the league.
Predictably and understandably the Jays struggled quite mightily in these first few seasons, but eventually the roster had ample talent and the franchise became a power in the AL East. The core of those clubs in the late 1980s included SP Dave Stieb, OF Jesse Barfield, OF George Bell, and SS Tony Fernandez.
Toronto consistently flirted with 90 wins and managed to win a couple division titles to close out the decade. Yet, the most memorable Blue Jays teams were those in the early 1990s. The teams that won back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 will go down as two of the best in the history of baseball.
Not only had the front office added 2B Roberto Alomar, RF Joe Carter and CF Devon White to the playing field, but John Olerud came up to play first base, Par Borders was a solid veteran addition behind the plate, and Dave Winfield fit quite nicely at DH. The starting rotation still had Dave Stieb, but now he had Jimmy Key, Jack Morris, David Cone, and David Wells to fill out the rotation. This is as fine a collection of talent as there has ever been in the MLB. Really it is a wonder the club did not win more than two World Series. In the years since, the Blue Jays have avoided bottoming out while playing in the ultra-competitive AL East and have again been forgotten by most of the MLB fan base.
