Since you've got Stieb and Bell, are you going to try and get Barfield, Moseby and Tony Fernandez so you have the core of the first great Blue Jay teams.? Maybe Jimmy Key too?

Recently, a friend of mine decided to play the 1988 Blue Jays and I was struck by how fast that group of players went downhill. You'd have thought at least one of them would make the Hall of Fame, but the only ones who played much into their thirties were Key and Fernandez. And I thought Tony was never quite the same as a hitter after he got hit in the face by a pitch, though I guess he had a bit of a career revival when he went back to Toronto in the late 90's.

Just checked Key's career though and his final numbers are better than I thought.
