Check out the ten of the most memorable moments from the past decade in the Blue Jays’ history.

Perhaps it requires some recent perspective on what a terrible season can be in order to look at a team that just missed losing 100 games and feeling like this year wasn’t so bad.

As we look ahead at what we can expect in the coming years, the number of middling teams stocked with all-stars should be instructive on one hand, and concerning on the other. To be a truly competitive sometime soon, the Blue Jays can’t merely rely on their young premium players to carry them to success.

For now, teams can have up to 40 players on their roster in the final month of the season. Next year, that number drops to 28. And for all of the moaning about the negative outcome of expanding September rosters, fans will eventually miss those overflowing dugouts filled with new faces and spring training jersey numbers.

It is the sad state of current commentary that so much time and ink and bandwidth is dedicated to what is wrong with baseball today. The game is changing, and rather than spending untold energy looking backwards and resisting, we should be embracing this change.
