The 2017 season is finally upon us! Jays Journal is introducing a new weekly series where contributors take a look at the latest Blue Jays rumor or news piece from the viewpoint of an optimist, a pessimist, and a realist. There are three sides to every argument; comment below to share which view you agree with the most for each article.
This week’s article topic is the Blue Jays’ starting rotation depth, and what may happen if there is an extended injury to one of the starting five. Toronto’s rotation currently consists of five above-average pitchers, all of whom can act as a rotation ace on any given day.
