Was having this discussion with my dad recently. Obviously, WAMCO wins on sheer acronym awesomeness, but I'm thinking more on the field.
We definitely have one of the top 1-4s in baseball right now; just as we did back then. I've not really looked at the numbers, but I'm leaning towards WAMCO. Not by much though. Anybody else?

Re: WAMCO Vs RCBEL
It's actually RCBLE these days, which might be a subliminal message promoting the home entertainment divisions of our owners, come to think.

**** your asterisk.

The 2014 Jays have a 118 wRC+ so far, the 1993 Jays had a 109 wRC+.

What about when WAMCO added Rickey Henderson?

Didn't it become WHAMCO?
I kid, IIRC, Henderson batted first, White dropped to 6?

then you would take RCBEL hands down because henderson was horrible in his brief stint as a jay. granted he swiped a bunch of bags, but gillick essentially traded for bad anthony gose instead of the premier leadoff man of all time. the good thing is we only gave up an already-opened bag of sunflower seeds for him

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

Ya... I thought Rickey was better in the playoffs but not so much just an insurance policy.
As for WAMCO they had 2 HOF's in it playing at a high level. I remember Olerud flirting with .400
was a big deal for most of the year also remember the Toronto Sun had daily updates.
Reyes needs to raise the BA and play better defensively and Lind is utterly useless against
lefties probably the worst out of the 10. Hope he keeps up his hot start though.

Re: WAMCO Vs RCBEL
olerud flirting with .400 for 100+ games was incredible considering how slow he was, so it wasn't like he was legging out infield choppers or anything
