Mandatory Credit: Thomas Campbell-USA TODAY Sports What’s the difference between the Los Angeles Angels and the Toronto Blue Jays? The Angels buy their “talent” whereas the Blue Jays simply try and trade for it. Both teams made huge moves in the last several offseasons looking to build up their teams and they have failed so far.

Both teams severely underperformed in 2013 and really need a big 2014 to get their fans back to loving their hometown team. The Angels took care of business against the Astros in a four-game series this past weekend, winning three of the games pretty convincingly. The Blue Jays will look to do the same in this three-game series.

There are a few players you think of when you hear Toronto Blue Jays.

Jose Reyes – When you hear his name, however, it’s often associated with the disabled list. Reyes won’t be playing in this three game series due to a hamstring injury.
