Timlin was the Jay's closer and couldn't handle the role. The Mariners
brought Timlin in as a set-up guy where he's always been more
comfortable. Ironically Slo***b was so bad Timlin got the job and
performed adequately. Cruz Jr. seemed like a 5 tool, blue chipper but
never realized his potential.
It could have been a spectacular deal for the Jays if Chris Johnson's
favourite genuis GM, JP, had taken the Mets up on their offer of David
Wright. Instead he let him go for nothing.
Spin that as positive, CJ.
