If AJ can pitch like this every game, he will have at least 18-20 wins this year. He is a guy the Jays need and an AJ-Roy 1-2 punch, would be amazing.
Sucks that this year is hit opt-out. If he stays healthy for once, you guys will have to pay a lot this offseason.

Because AJ is injury prone and that money could be used to bring in a big bat next year if Thomas leaves. But right now, I just want AJ to pitch well and think about money later.
I'm not sure, I'll look it up, but I know we might need some. Just to replace Frank Thomas. However, if Rolan comes back all right, we'll be in great shape, so we can spend the money on AJ.
And if Vernon Wells decides to earn his contract... You might take a chance on Giambi. He'll likely be type C, at best B.

I mean, you'd be in great shape if he would ever play up to that huge contract. http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com/2002/02/2...ree-agents.html You might also look at Tex

I'd say 15mil/2 would be fair.</div> I like that deal. I mean, he would come back to a great city plus, our team has much improved since he left. He wouldn't have to play 1st base all the time and he can switch with Lyle. However, he kinda reminds me of Vince Carter with a lot less drama and more love from Toronto fans. I really doubt he would come back, but I would love it. He would add a great bat, smart player and possibly that extra push we need. Maybe 1 year at about 8 mill, just so he can feel like he doesn't have stay here.

Even though competition never hurt anyone, I don't know how well it would work out.
