I obviously missed that one. I am not a Jays fan and I can not watch every game of every team in all of Major League Baseball. With Spring training coming up on us fast, you should be at ease knowing that these analysis posts will be ending soon! Please use this forum to post your thoughts on the Jays in 2008. Parkes,

Defensively, Johnny Mac is the better glove man, but Eckstein will be a huge improvement with the bat.

Seriously, did you actually watch a single game that this team played last year? This is probably the worst "analysis" I've ever read. You merely repeat last year's stats and make factual errors. I highly doubt that Josh Towers will be coming out of the bullpen very often considering he'll be pitching for Colorado. Dude, I don’t mean to be harsh, but you can’t polish a turd.

No respect for Johnny Mac? How about this from Jays radio man and former Astro Alan Ashby? "He was the most amazing defensive show I've ever witnessed over the course of a season. I got a chance to see a lot of Ozzie Smith in the National League for a long time. Omar Vizquel has certainly done it for a long time, but I have never seen anything that quite rivaled what John McDonald did last year. He was a phenomenon defensively." Dude, seriously?
