The 2005 Toronto Blue Jays team wasn’t great. They finished with an 80-82 record for third in the AL East, but had some bright spots. Roy Halladay and Shea Hillenbrand were All-Stars, while Orlando Hudson and Vernon Wells earned Gold Gloves for their work in the field.
The Jays had some obvious holes in the lineup, with third base being one of the biggest. They had Corey Koskie there, and he put up 11 home runs, 36 RBIs, and a .249 batting average. Glaus represented a good power bat that could work well with Wells, Hillenbrand, and Alex Rios.
