08:15 AM ET 01.31 | Optimism ruled the day Monday north of the border. It turns out [Paul Beeston] envisions the Toronto Blue Jays in the playoffs two or three times in the next five years. Boom, as the kids say. Again, Beeston, the president of the Blue Jays, actually said to a gathering of some 900 season-ticket holders: "I would expect that in the next five years, we would be in [the playoffs] two to three times." This is important, considering his blue-sky musing about a $120-million payroll as far back as April, 2010, turned into some kind of article of faith with Blue Jays fans without the caveat he attached then: Revenues would need to be sufficient to sustain a payroll at that level.
