1.) Will the major trade acquisitions pay off?
The Blue Jays sent shock waves through the MLB landscape over the winter when they traded for Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, and R.A. Dickey, among others. The team wanted everyone to know they are serious about becoming a threat in the American League and taking over a seemingly down AL East.
2.) Can the team handle the Melky Cabrera distraction? Which Melky Will They Get?
When the Blue Jays signed controversial outfielder Melky Cabrera to a two-year, $16-million contract in November, it was met with a lot of skepticism.
The man is coming off a season where he was the focus of a major PED cover-up scheme after he had been suspended 50 games for high testosterone and missed the 2012 playoffs with the San Francisco Giants. He, and the team, has been asked about the situation countless times this spring, and it really shows no signs of stopping, especially if he doesn't perform.
3.) Can the rotation prove to be dominant?
Just read this pitching rotation aloud: R.A. Dickey, Brandon Morrow, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, Ricky Romero.
On paper, that has to be one of the scariest rotations in all of the American League, let alone Major League Baseball. However, as everyone knows, games aren't won on paper, otherwise the Los Angeles Angels would have won the World Series last season.
Despite the big names in the lineup, there are questions surrounding almost all of these players. But the biggest one involves the team's opening-day starter, R.A. Dickey.
