In my mind, they at least have the most underrated.
CL. BJ Ryan--injured last season, but is dominating when healthy.
SU. Jeremy Accardo--Filled in for Ryan all last season and posted a 2.14 ERA and didn't allow an ER in his first 21 innings pitched.
MR. Casey Janssen--Was last season's set up man with a 2.35 ERA.
MR. Brandon League--Injured last season, can hit 100 mph and was dominant in 2006.
LS. Scott Downs--A lefty specialist who led the AL in appearances and had a 2.17 ERA.
LR. Brian Tallet--Long reliever/lefty with a 3.47 ERA
MR. Jason Frasor/Brian Wolfe--Frasor had a rough stretch but finished strong, eventually posting a 4.58 ERA. Wolfe came on strong as a rookie, posting an impressive 2.98 ERA over 38 games.
Just wanted an outside opinion other than mine.

You have a point, and the starters on Toronto are ok too, with Marcum (4.13) having the highest ERA. They must stay healty if they want to contend. Their primary five starters, (Halladay, McGowan, Burnett, Marcum, Litsch) had a collective ERA of 3.89. But the rest of the starters, namely the starters who startered when somebody got hurt (Kennedy (RIP), Towers, Ohka, Chacin, Banks, Taubenheim) had a collective ERA of 5.24. They must stay healthy. But you are right; Accardo, Downs, Tallet, Wolfe, and Janssen all had ERAs under 4, which is something to be proud of.

that's the proposed batting order for the Blue Jays (Jose) Reyes, (Melky) Cabrera, (Jose) Bautista, Encarnacion, Lind, Lawrie, Rasmus, Arencibia, and Bonifacio. The beginning rotation is Dickie, Buehrle, (Josh) Johnson, Morrow, and Romero. a number of their Bullpen pitchers are Janssen, Santos, Oliver, Delabar, Lincoln, and McGowan. they actual have a sturdy back up team on their new AAA team in Buffalo so as that this team is the main powerful Toronto team for the reason that 1993, and all of us understand what got here approximately then.

The Blue Jays have a good relief corps. We went to a game that Accardo shut down the Red Sox, including the heart of the order in the ninth. But the Red Sox have Papelbon, Okajima, Del Carmen, Timlin, and Lopez for short relief and Snyder and Tavarez for longer relief. If they have a lead, they are pretty much guaranteed to keep it.

They have a very underrated under appreciated unrecognized bullpen because they play in the AL East home of the two most publicized team.
Although they have a GREAT bullpen I think they fall 2nd to only the Red Sox with Papelbom and Okajima.

Ahh,No. Afraid to say it needs some work. But,unfortunately,they have a horrible G.M. that is about as bad as Leafs G.M. Ferguson. Even if the Jays had the best bullpen,it would get them nowhere with the current manager they have. He has got to go as well.

Ryan wont be as good next year he will struggle
Accardo is good sometimes but can be incossitent
Jansen is good and is reliable
League is hardly dominate and i think he will be at AAA next season
Downs is good
Tallet is nothing special
Wolfe is good but Frasor is terrible
With that said yes I think there bullpen is definitly in the top 5

No, but BJ Ryan might blow the most saves in the MLB.

they have a pretty good bullpen but they need another starter. they will never be able to compete in the AL East unless they get another solid starter.

No, they don't even have the best Bullpen in the AL East.
