It has been a long time since the Blue Jays developed a starting pitcher of their own who had any kind of huge success and staying power. Yes, Ricky Romero, Dustin McGowan and Shaun Marcum all had varying degrees of viability, but McGowan and Marcum had injury issues and Romero has run into mechanical and confidence issues that have many wondering if hes ever going to get it back. You really have to go back to Roy Halladay, who broke in to the majors in late 1998 to find any Jays starting pitcher of note who went on to stardom. Its a little too early to put that "cant miss" label on right-hander Aaron Sanchez, but the 21-year-old is showing signs of being a good one. The Arizona Fall Leagues regular season, as brief as it may be, wound up on Thursday of this week. Seven of the Jays better prospects were playing with the Salt River Rafters. Going into the final game, the Rafters were a half-game back of Mesa for the East Division title. They needed to win and have Mesa lose its final game against Glendale to claim the division crown. Sanchez started for Salt River and was outstanding. He gave up one run on six hits in five innings and picked up the victory as the Rafters edged Scottsdale 3-2. The 64" Sanchez finished the AFL season with a 2-1 record and a 1.16 ERA over 23.1 innings. He had to be that good in the final game, since Scottsdale starter Kyle Crick, a top Giants prospect, started out by pitching three hitless innings and striking out five. Sanchezs teammate, lefty Mike Montgomery of the Rays organization, pitched two shutout innings in relief for the Rafters and said Sanchez is good now, but has the chance to be real good in the future. Unfortunately, Sanchez and the Rafters didnt make it into Saturdays final, because Mesa whipped Glendale 9-3 to clinch the East. Its highly unlikely Aaron Sanchez will be with the Blue Jays to start the 2014 season, but his time is coming. Starting Five Its no secret that the Blue Jays need immediate help in their rotation, and you can bet GM Alex Anthopoulos will be right in the thick of talks for free agents Matt Garza, Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana to name just three. The demand for that trio and their price is bound to increase with word that MLB has withdrawn its proposal for a new posting agreement with Japanese baseball. Many Major League owners, ever mindful of controlling costs, didnt like the process of making sealed bids with the high bid getting the players. Paying huge amounts to relatively unproven (by Major League standards) Japanese players only served to drive up the price, which established Major League players could then get when they became free agents. So now, unless something changes, Japanese players such as star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will have to put in nine years of service time in their native country before they can become free agents. Posting would appear to be dead for now. The Rumour Mill This has been a week of wild unfounded rumours, such as the Jays thinking about dealing Jose Bautista to the Phillies for a package including outfielder Domonic Brown, and a number of teams including the Phillies being interested in catcher J.P. Arencibia. This isnt a rumour, just a possibility. The Cincinnati Reds are still considering moving their smoke-throwing closer Aroldis Chapman into the starting rotation to replace 37-year-old Bronson Arroyo, who is likely gone as a free agent. Chapman apparently isnt thrilled by this and wants to stay on as the Reds closer. However, if the Reds can change his mind, they would need some help in the pen. This is where the Blue Jays come in. They could deal a couple of their surplus relievers to the Reds for 27-year-old righty Homer Bailey, he of two career no-hitters. The Reds may consider dealing Bailey because hes due a healthy raise through arbitration this year after making $5.3 million last year. He can also become a free agent in 2015. Cincinnati also has lefty Tony Cingrani to plug into the rotation should they deal Bailey. Bailey, the seventh-overall pick in 2004, is also represented by the Hendricks brothers, the same ones who helped deliver Roger Clemens to the Blue Jays in 1997. Bailey doesnt have an overwhelming record over his seven years in the "Bigs" at 49-45 with a 4.25 ERA. However, he is only one of 31 pitchers all-time and just 26 in the modern era to have multiple no-hitters, and at least initially he wouldnt cost as much as Garza, Jimenez or Santana. Just a thought.

Williams finally has his packing strategy down.The four home teams in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs own a clear advantage of playing with an extra weeks rest and crowd on their side. For the four road teams – the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts – the task of playing on the road gets even tougher when considering the records of their opponents on home turf. The New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos combined for a record of 30-2 at home this season, marking just the seventh time in history in which the four host teams combined for that record or better. The last instance of four dominating home teams hosting games in the second round of the playoffs came in 2011. That year, the San Francisco 49ers, Patriots and Ravens all picked up wins at home, while the Packers lost the eventual champion New York Giants. In 2014, the Patriots reeled off seven straight home wins to start the season before losing in Week 17 to the Buffalo Bills, a game in which they rested their starters. Tom Brady threw 19 touchdowns and three interceptions at Gillette Stadium this season and was sacked just six times. His passer rating at home sat at 103.8 compared to his 90.4 mark on the road. Brady also threw for 682 yards with six touchdowns and two interceptions in two home games against the Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions this season, both were top-three defences. The Ravens will look to continue a string of postseason success in Foxborough on Saturday. Baltimore has won two of three playoff games against the Patriots since 2009, all of which were played in New England. Those two losses to Joe Flacco and the Ravens equate to half of the Patriots all-time home postseason losses in their 15-4 record. In Seattle, the Panthers will be forced to play in one of the NFLs toughest home venue, and a stadium where the Seahawks have lost just twice in two years. The Seahawks lone home loss this season came in Week 6 as the fell 30-23 to the Dallas Cowboys. They have outscored opponents 124-57 in their five home wins since. The Panthers will play their first road playoff since 2005 on Saturday, ending a drought that begin with a 31-14 loss to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game. The Green Bay Packers have lost four straiight playoff games to the Dallas Cowboys.dddddddddddd. Green Bays last win over Dallas came, not surprisingly, in their last home game against the Cowboys. That win came in the 1967 Ice Bowl, and though forecasts dont project the game to be nearly as cold as that, the Packers have no trouble winning at home – warm or cold – this season. The Packers led the league in points per game, point differential and turnover margin at home this season while going a perfect 8-0. The Cowboys, however, also led the league in all those marks on the road while being the only NFL team to go perfect away from home. Green Bay averaged just shy of 40 points per game at home this season, the highest average of any home team in the last three seasons. Jumping out to early leads, the Packers outscored opponents by 154 in the first half at home. With several games already in hand, the Packers failed in many games to put second-half points, outscoring opponents by one point in the third and fourth quarters. The Packers won their first 13 home playoff games, but have struggled in more recent history. In their last eight home postseason games, the Packers are 3-5. That stretch began with a loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the 2002 Wild Card Round. Like the Packers, the Broncos also went a perfect 8-0 at Mile High Stadium this season. Its the sixth time in franchise history Denver has run the table at home, theyve won the Super Bowl twice after such seasons. The Broncos home win streak this season opened with a 31-24 victory over the Colts, Manning went 4-for-4 in that game when targeting tight end Julius Thomas with two touchdown passes. Including their Week 1 loss to the Broncos, the Colts went 5-3 on the road this season but with only win over a .500 or better team. Andrew Lucks passer rating was 93.1 on the road this season compared to 100.2 at home, he is also 0-2 on the road in his postseason career. Against one of the most dominant groups of home teams in NFL history, every road team enters the Divisional Round as at least six-point underdogs. With cold temperatures or precipitation expected at every venue this weekend, road teams will have to survive the weather on top of the intimidating atmosphere to earn a spot in a championship game.
