Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays are still in the hunt for both the AL East and the AL Wildcard despite only averaging an anemic 4.1 runs per game. Their offense is obviously the big problem and it hasn't been helped by the fact that stars Alexis Rios is having a sub-par year and Vernon Wells has been injured. The spotlight was earlier on Frank Thomas and his awful start for Toronto but the fact is the Rios / Wells production has been missed the most. The Blue Jays have been just 9-13 in one run games and with more offense that easily could have been 13-9 which would have put them just a game and a half behind Boston in the AL East and out front in the Wildcard race.

If the Blue Jays make a trade for a hitter and either (or both) Rios and Wells round back into form - then the Blue Jays will be a team to reckon with. Of course this is assuming their pitching remains healthy.
