Unrelated to Aroldis, but I was looking at next year’s Jays:

With the doom-and-gloom that lies over the 2010 season, I thought I’d take a look at what we can honestly expect from the 2010 Blue Jays. Using each players’ best WAR from the last 3 seasons (Because it’s available, and fairly encompassing) here’s what your 2010 Blue Jays should look like:

Player WAR (Year)
Bautista 1.9 (09)
Gonzalez 2.4 (07)
Lind 3.7 (09)
Hill 4.2 (09)
Snider 1 (CHONE Projection)
Wells 1.3 (08)
Encarnacion 2 (08)
Overbay 2 (09)
Buck 0.9 (09)

McDonald 0 (09)
McCoy 0.9 (CHONE)
Chavez 0.2 (09)
Gathright 1.1 (07)

Marcum 2 (08)
Romero 2.7 (09)
Rzepczynski 1.1 (09)
Morrow 0.2 (09)-CHONE projects 1.6
Cecil 0.4 (09)

Frasor 1.4 (09)
Downs 1 (09)
Richmond 0.8 (09)
Carlson 0.7 (08)
Accardo 1.5 (07)
Tallett 1.7 (09)
Camp 0.7 (09)

Overall, based on recently acheived stats, the 2010 Blue Jays project 35.8 wins (American League AVG is 33.6). This precludes any improvement from the young pitching staff. It is reasonable to assume with this collection of players that we could finish at or around .500.

Thoughts?
