That's right, I wouldn't want any one else running my favorite team.

Under two years he has:

- Took the bottom 5 farm system and shot it up to the top 5...also loading up with picks, something like 7 of the first 80 for this year's (supposedly very deep) draft.
- Traded for a potential ace in Brandon Morrow giving up spare parts really.
- Traded Gonzalez for a cheaper, younger and better Escobar.
- And of course, pulled the unthinkable of unloading Wells. Quite the magic act this one was. Everyone thought he was untradable and the universal reviews on this trade is the Angels got raped.

I'm loving the future of this club, things are looking bright for 2012 and beyond.

Get the fuck out of my division before you talk about "bright futures" lol. Three WS contenders in one division is more then enough already lol.

I could care less about 2011, AA is building this team for the long term.
Especially with the expected extra wild card team being added to the playoffs I expect post season play for the Jays in the future.

Loving the moves by AA as well. Go Jays! I also think a bright future is on the horizon
