"According to Fangraphs, WAR is defined as Wins Above Replacement (WAR) is an attempt by the sabermetric baseball community to summarize a player’s total contributions to their team in one statistic. You should always use more than one metric at a time when evaluating players, but WAR is all-inclusive and provides a useful reference point for comparing players."

Toronto has seen 405 different pitchers toe the rubber in an MLB game since the organization’s existence.

The Blue Jays have seen the likes of Roger Clemens, Dave Stewart and David Cone all don the blue and white at one time or another, however, in order to be on the All-Time WAR list, you need to couple production with longevity. Will any of the above trio crack the Top 10 despite their short tenure in Toronto?
