Time for a TRUE re-build


We will NOT compete with this core. We haven't even been a top 3 team in the East with this core going on two years now.
Upper management has resisted a true re-build for a good 15 seasons. We currently have some chips that could speed up the TRUE rebuilding process from 6 or 7 years to only 3 or 4.

The following players should all be shopped:

Halladay (he is the key player who will speed up the re-build), Rolen, Scutaro, Millar, Overbay, Wells (tough to trade obviously), Barajas, Downs, Camp, Frasor, Tallet, Bautista, Inglett, League, Richmond, and McDonald.

Of the players who have seen major league baseball this season on the Jays I would only hang onto Lind, Hill, Marcum, Rios (yes Rios), Snider, Litsch, Rze, Romero, and Cecil.

The time is now. There is a real chance to fix this team in just 3 or 4 years. But we need a TRUE re-build. A re-build that has a low team payroll and a team that isn't mediocre, but truly does suck. Enough with these 80-88 win 3rd and 4th place finishes!

**I just hate the JP is the man to do this.
