When the Blue Jays re-signed Marco Estrada to a one year deal and brought in Jaime Garcia to round out their rotation, there was real potential for the team to have one of the stronger groups in the American League. That obviously hasn’t happened at all.
Each member of the rotation has gone through some degree of injury struggles, with the exception of J.A. Happ. The left-hander is also the only one of the original five who has pitched anywhere near his potential this season.
Based on the necessity of having to bring in some fresh arms, a great opportunity came up for both Sam Gaviglio and Ryan Borucki.
