Yeah about the Blue Jays:
Halladay is a gem and he'll be a contender for the CY Young again next year.
Hentgen is past his prime and I don't think he'll win more then 12 next year.
Lilly, I love this guy, is a great pitcher when he's on. Look what he did with Oakland last year when Mulder went down. He carried that team down the strech. If he pitches like that with the Jays, they will be a definate contender.
As for Ponson, if they get him, well I think he was a one year wonder last year and won't pitch like that again. But he'll fit good with the Jays because the Jays aren't one of the "big" teams like the Giants are. I think he pitches better with up and coming teams and not teams that have been to playoffs the last few years.
But all in all I still think the A'S have the best pitching staff in the league. You have the "Golden Trio" who have the potential to win 20 games in a season at any time. And then you have Rick Harden who will be great in the future. If the A's can just hit the ball in the playoffs and during the season, I don't think anyone can stop them. They need to sign Keith Foulke though.
