Toronto Blue Jays: 4 Players Who Must Step Up to Keep Their Playoff Hopes Alive

The Toronto Blue Jays have had a rough 2011 season. Three of their opening day starting position players are on the DL and another one is not with the team anymore. Their pitching staff has also been depleted by injuries.

Despite this, the team has still been able to be competitive. They sit two games under .500 at 53-55 and are just five games back of the second wild card spot.

At this point in the year, not many people are expecting the Jays to make much of a leap in the standings. However, in the back of every diehard fan's mind is the hope that they can pull off a miracle run.

With the way they are playing, the playoffs definitely seem like a long shot. Here are four players who need to step up if the Toronto Blue Jays want to be playing October baseball.
