Well ClockShot, that is your best comparison to this years Blue Jays team.

My talking point is injuries to these super teams and the Red Sox were decimated by them last year. Games played:

Ortiz - 90
Middlebrooks - 74
Crawford - 31
Elsbury - 74
Youkilis - 42 of 71 games before being traded.

....and thats not even getting into Gonzalez playing in only 123 games with an injured wrist and Beckett and Bailey being down for good parts.

A couple more injuries, and the Jays will officially be on the path the Red Sox were last year, except the Red Sox had a more talented lineup to begin with.
