With finals finally (no pun) ending tonight and all that's left for me for the next couple weeks / month + is to sell and fold those awesome jeans, I'd like to fine tune the roster a bit. Not looking for a drastic overhaul that we've already seen this offseason, but I do need to tweak some areas.
I am set at SP and in the OF- pretty sure I got that area down pat. My middle infield and C spots are probably the weakest - though 2B isn't bad with Baker/Castillo as a workable platoon. I'd like to upgrade SS or C (Betancourt, Buck/Gimenez.) Either corner infield position (Hughes/Guillen/Hodges; Guillen/Overbay) would be fine by me as well. I've Brett Wallace there too, but since he's a Cardinal it'll be tough for me to move him.
In the bullpen, I like what I have, but I could stand to add a legitimate shutdown arm for the 9th. I've Dotel, Elbert, Acosta, Meloan, Stetter, Kinney and others there.
I can easily move the following guys, and there should be something here for contenders & rebuilders:
Looper
Hill
Washburn
Suppan
Main
Marte
Meloan
Hughes
Hodges
Abreu
Castillo
Casey
Guillen
Overbay
Betancourt
Ahrens
etc.
Again, nothing major, but would like to add something somewhere to give me some oomph besides Manny, Fowler, Abreu (though I'd move him to get somebody with better D) Guillen and Overbay.
