The Rays and Red Sox, both playoff competitors last year, are arguably no worse. And the Yankess just signed, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Mark Teixeira. The Jays finished 10 games above .500 last year and finished 4th.
How unfair is it that the Jays have to play 50+ games against those three juggernauts, while the Angles get 50+ against the Rangers, Athletics and Mariners.
