Former Toronto Blue Jays infielder Lyle Overbay had some interesting things to say about his time with the team, and what could've been in some of their best seasons. Overbay had a batting average of .268 with 672 hits, 83 homers, 336 RBIs, and 337 runs scored in 723 games for the Blue Jays in his career, playing for the team from 2006 to 2010. Ten different teams in the American League made the playoffs in that time span, including all six who finished above the Blue Jays. The Jays, on the other hand, had losing records against the Rays (.444), Yankees (.456), and Red Sox (.473) over those five years as well. While Overbay's Jays never got the chance to see postseason success, maybe this year's Jays might have a shot to bring some glory back to Toronto.
