Blue Jays issues.

We need a set up man, one more starting pitcher, a dh, a first baseman and trades for Koskie, Batiasta and Hinske

Except for trading Koskie, I agree with everything you say. There's talk they might trade Orlando Hudson since they are so deep up the middle. If they do, which I say would be a shame, they better get back something they need that's of the highest quality. If they trade Koskie, I'd understand it, but I'd like to see him get a full, injury free season in Toronto to see what he's really capable of doing in T.O.

Hinske's gotta go. What you get for him is hard to say. I just hope someone out there is willing to give up stock based on his first year ROY season.

I would love to see the Jays open up their wallet this off season. They've stated they will spend an extra 20 mil. this off season. Good money if spent wisely.

I really do like Koskie but I don't think he's whats right for the team. We have a strong infield with Hill, Adams and Hudson that is young and can be the core of the team for a long time and the more playing time they get the better.

I guess if they don't land a good DH/1B I'd be happy with Hillenbrand/Koskie splitting DH and 1B

Jason Frasor is a great set-up man, so I'd cross that off the list.

Hopefully they try for A.J Burnett. I like John Ford Griffin, he could be called up and handle DH duties, he's got a mean bat

I totally agree but I want to see Batista moved from the closer. I'm okay with him being a spot starter or long reliever but if he does get traded we need someone to set up for Spier or Frasor (I've heard either could be the closer of the future)
