I admit I am not a baseball fanatic and my observations are worth what they are worth.   I was swept up in Blue Jay fever 2 years ago as they came painfully close to winning it all.  Last year although they scraped into the playoffs they were clearly a team in decline.  In the off season management did nothing but stick with basically the same cast, hoping that they might have one last gasp.  The results this year are clear.  The players are old in baseball terms and simply cannot run or hit.  You can't coach or change this basic fact. This team in my opinion is destined for last in their division and may end up with the worst record in the American league.  The really discouraging fact is that there is no simple solution as the team is saddled with expensive long term contracts for aging players who won't get better, only worse.   I agree with other blogs that this is going to be a long term drought lasting many years for this team.  Management has no one to blame but themselves.
