The Toronto Blue Jays have a host of new additions, but Joe Carter says the team can't get caught up in the hype.
The retired Blue Jays star knows what he's talking about. In 1993, Toronto came into the season as the reigning world champions. He led them to another title with his winning home run in Game 6 of the World Series.
"When you have new guys come in -- as many as the Jays have coming in now -- the tendency is to go out there and try to do too much, too early," Carter said.
"And then when you do that, you put yourself in a hole. What they've got to do is just go out there and try to relax as much as possible and trust their teammates and believe in their teammates and not try to do it themselves."
Toronto finished fourth in the American League East last year with a 73-89 record.
"They've got to get that chemistry together, put their trust in one another and have fun playing the game," Carter said.
