    Biagini appears to be a 5 inning starter which the Jays will take in a heartbeat. He can get out of sync in the first inning though and blowup real good. If he gets by that inning, then he can go futher withn decent stuff. Unfortunately the 3rd turn of the batting order can give him trouble. He is a rookie starter 2 turns starter still learning to start in the big leagues. What choice do the Jays have except Biagini until they become buyers and trade for a starter or starter(s)? And while thay are at it, trade for 2 bullpen arms too. I noticed Shapiro went on the radio and said the “players will determine whether the Jays are buyers and sellers. Yes, it is up to the players to play, but it is up to the management to dtermine the threshhold of how close a team is in the standings and whether they are buyers and then how far to go all-in by fringe trades or trade the farm for quality pieces to go for it. I say the threshold is 7 games. 7 games out buyers, 8 games out sellers. So a significant portion is a management decision, the yes or no, and a quantatative all-in decision as well- not determined by the players. I hope they surprise me and I am wrong, but I predict the Jays will be sellers.
