THERE'S NO WAY TO GO...BUT UP, UP, UP, FOR THE TORONTO BLUE JAYS...

Anthopoulos: This job is 24/7. And, I don’t think you ever take time. I’m getting married in January but I’ve already prepared my fiancee that I will be on my Blackberry quite a bit when we go on our honeymoon. I’ll always continue to explore trades to make the team better. It never stops for me.

Good luck in marriage AA!

Alex is changing the face of the Toronto Blue Jays. This is going to be a completely different team under the new general manager. To many, 2010 being the year the Jays go back to winning games is wishful thinking, but for some reason I believe in this team and their ability to compete in the American League East.

I see an offense that can put up a crazy amount of runs with bombers like Aaron Hill, Randy Ruiz, Adam Lind, and sweet swingers like Brett Wallace and Travis Snider. Add in Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay who can both chip in 20 homeruns a season, along with John Buck's decent catcher production, you've got a very difficult offense that includes utility man Jose Bautista who hit 11 homeruns in September alone. The pitching staff can be just good enough- you've got Kyle Drabek, the return of Shaun Marcum, newly acquired flamethrower Brandon Morrow, Scott Richmond, Marc Rezepysnki, Brett Cecil, Rookie of the Year Candidate Ricky Romero, and not to mention Dustin McGowan if he ever gets healthy! Many rotational options with guys like Richmond that can be thrown into the bullpen as long relievers. The Blue Jays bullpen has been one of the best in the game since 2007 when the offense went south, and boasts powerful arms like Jason Frasor, Dick Hayhurst, Jeremy Accardo and Scott Downs.

It's a fight between the Angels, Seattle, Boston and Toronto for the Wild Card, and no one in the United States possibly sees it that way, I bet.

This team has talent. It's just a question of whether they can put it all together!

We'll see in 2010, and ironically, the year everything changed begins tommorrow.
