 | Jays more laid-back without Roy Halladay |
 The TOronto Sun is reporting As Toronto moves on without Roy Halladay, according to some, the clubhouse is a more relaxed place. The problem with Halladay was simply that he was so dedicated, worked so hard and had such a talent gap between himself and the others -- he was buddies with Chris Carpenter way back and more recently for a time with A.J. Burnett, two pitchers who came close to matching his talent -- that the younger pitchers were intimidated and didn't know how to approach him.
Halladay simply cast too big a shadow and didn't have the wherewithal or the ability to reach out and bridge the gap with the revolving door of unripened and untested starters that would come and go like so many Boxing Day shoppers rushing through a revolving door. So maybe the Jays are a tighter group, at least the starters, without Halladay, like survivors from a sinking ship in a lifeboat.
