Tom Verducci: The Blue Jays' blueprint for success
Back in spring training, Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos, 33, and Padres GM Jed Hoyer, 36, both on the job for a little more than four months, struck up a conversation about what it takes to compete in the American League East.

Anthopoulos and Hoyer agreed that to survive in the AL East you have to load up on power pitchers, particularly in the rotation. Pitchers who rely on finesse or getting hitters to chase pitches out of the zone don't play well against patient teams such as the Yankees and Red Sox.
