2014 Toronto "Train Wreck" Blue Jays

Spend big on Josh Hamilton to get more power into the lineup after being last in the league last season also bring in Matt Tuiasosopo for a few more HR as well. Couldn't do much with the pitching staff except a couple of minor tweaks. Upgraded the bench as best I could. Payroll running at 60 Million so I got room to add pieces if I have too.

Outlook
I'm hoping to challenge for the Wild Card, but I'm in a tough division as it is and just getting to 2nd place will take a lot, looking to get 95 wins this season.
