3) Carlos Delgado

Delgado was a part of the 1993 World Series team, earning a ring as a 21-year-old despite registering just a single regular-season at-bat. But as Delgado got better, the team around him slowly got worse, but Delgado hit more Home Runs than any Blue Jays player in history when all was said and done.

2) Dave Stieb

Stieb was one of the best pitchers in baseball during the 80s and helped lead the Jays to the playoffs for the first time in 1985. Stieb was the first Blue Jays pitcher to throw a no-hitter and got close to doing it again several times. Stieb was a six-time all-star.

Alomar was an integral part of the Blue Jays back-to-back World Championship teams. Alomar won the Gold Glove Award every year he was a Blue Jay — and then he won another five in his post-Toronto career. He was an All-Star for all five seasons in Toronto (and 12 straight overall).
