Do the Jays have the best bats in the league this year?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 27 Jan 07

This season's team is the best in years, and I think we could make it to the playoffs. It will be tough with Boston signing Nakamura and the Yanks signing Pettite. But! If Rios plays like he did at the beginning of last...

vrccan This year's hitting is certainly the best they've had in awhile, but their starting rotation is still weak. If they can't find someone to toss up decent numbers in those last two slots, even career seasons by Burnett and Chacin with Halladay being his usual...

How are the Jays going to be this year?

europebound @europebound (102) • Canada 19 Jan 07

There's a lot to discuss. Frank Thomas? Losing out on Ted and Gil? John Thompson?

vrccan The Jays hitting is a lot better this year (Thomas is definitely an offensive super-upgrade on Hillenbrand in the power category, but their starting rotation is leaving a lot to be desired at the moment. If two of the young guys can rise to the occasion and...

Jays and their starting pitching

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 27 Jan 07

I think the Jays should have a good starting rotation this season. Burnett, Halladay and Chacin are healthy, and they should all have a good season. Whoever fills out the rotation should be decent too. Josh Towers is a big...

vrccan Hm, good pitching, good hitting and high prospects for the season. Sound familiar? Yeah, last season! lol Last season the Jays prospects at the start of the season looked *better* than they did this season. With Halladay, Burnett, Chacin, Lilly and a...

In my opinion Steve Yzerman is the best player to put on a pair of skates.

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 2 Jan 07

They are retiring his jersey tonight, and in my opinion Steve Yzerman is the best player to put on a pair of skates. He's a class act, and I'll miss him.

vrccan Statistically speaking, Wayne Gretzky is unquestionably the greatest player around, although he may end up yielding that to Sidney Crosby, who's on pace to break his point total when he was 19. Tough to say though, since it's still so early in Crosby's...

Andrew Raycroft or Jean Sebestian Aubin

The battle is one. Which goalie do you think is better and deserves to start more.?

vrccan I guess this is kind of academic now since Raycroft's started playing so well, but I would've said at the time also to keep him O=) lol

The Leafs are in 9th

europebound @europebound (102) • Canada 19 Jan 07

I checked the other day (I think it was after the Tampa game) and they were out of the playoffs. Are they going to make it?

vrccan Like with most other seasons, I think at the current moment it's a 50/50 shot. The good news though is that they're winning a lot of games *now*, not later on when they're practically out of it. It's a change for the better, last year they went on a losing...

vrccan My answer is it depends on the league ;) - I'm assuming you're talking about the NHL, in which case my favourite team is Edmonton (incidentally might be part of the reason I wholeheartedly disagree with the person that said Carolina up there ^) and my second...

Should Darcy Tucker have been on the all-star team?

becks2007 @becks2007 (10) • Canada 26 Jan 07

Just curious as to what people think about the fact that Darcy Tucker was not even on the ballot for the Eastern Conference All-Star Team voting this year. Should he have been included? Both McCabe, Kaberle, AND Sundin were all on...

vrccan As a rule, the all star game isn't the place for people like Darcy Tucker. Mats Sundin, Bryan McCabe and Tomas Kaberle have all represented their countries at the highest level of world competition, and all three of them are bona fide stars in the...

Best Leaf of all-time

Who is the best Leaf Player of all-time in your opinion?

5 responses

vrccan There's a difference between who I think the best leaf player of all time and who my favourite leaf of all time is. I think in term's of best, taking all the factors into account, I've gotta go with Dave Keon for sure - 15 seasons with the Leafs and a spot...
