This is just a bad team. It will be interesting to see how long Atkins gets to keep the glow of the World Series run because this team has a .507 winning percentage over the last 2.5 seasons despite having the 4th highest payroll in baseball.

Oh man, I just can't understand how anyone thinks Atkins can be the problem. Their 2 most important offensive positions are DH and 1B; the latter was signed by Ed Rogers (buoyed by the ridiculous Jays fan base) to a laughable, albatross contract and is putting up, literally, one of the worst seasons ever by a starting 1B in Blue Jay history, and the former position is utilized by our manager to play a sub-.700 OPS player every single day at the top of the order, or cleanup. Half of the entire pitching staff is either hurt or has been hurt for most of the season, to say nothing of the injuries on the offensive side.
Valenzuela, Pinango, Clase, Keys, Yesavage, Miles, Cease, Barger (last year), Okamoto (all from top of my head, the list surely goes on)- these guys were either drafted, signed or picked up for peanuts recently....A moderately healthy team with Vlad playing anywhere NEAR the value of his contract and an actual major league manager who can make tough decisions would have this team comfortably in a playoff spot right now.
Apparently, they need to go something like 43-23 to make the playoffs. They're sitting at 45-51. Need to win at a 0.621 rate when they have won at a 0.469 rate to date. I would say the season is over. I hope they make some baseball trades for guys with contracts, retool, and get some controllable players with the hopes of improving the roster for next season.
