"I think he's just coming into his own," Stewart said. "What I like about Joey is that he is a real, real strong competitor. And, I still think there's room for growth."
"We have in Joey Hamilton, a pitcher who can go in the front end of our rotation," Toronto general manager Gord Ash said.
All in all, the Jays paid $17 million for 14 wins. Not what you would want from someone you figured would replace Roger Clemens.
Joey led the NL in walks the season before the trade, and he never did strike out many. So Ash should have seen that a pitcher with a 1.39 strikeout-to-walk ratio didn't profile as someone who would do well in the AL East.
