To me we need a 2B/SS, a CF, a 4/5 starter and a couple of bench/bullpen spots.

Firstly we have to rid the team of Bradley by any means possible. If it means that we get ass raped in doing so, then by all means. Have to cut our losses with that one. I will be happy if we get Rowand for him however unlikely. I think we should retain Johnson to be the 4th outfielder and rotate between the regulars - Soriano, Fuk and maybe Rowand. He should get around 400AB's. I can't see us gettiing a big bat this season as the market is dry in that regard.

I would also be happy if we resign Grabow. I liked what I saw of him and he got the job done. Rest of the bullpen is a crapshoot, however we should avoid the Shark. He needs some tuning in the minors. Caridad was great for us and deserves a chance. Berg could also be a bolter.

Baker was good for us, but he is a utility bench guy, but should still see 400AB's. Maybe Blanco as the SS backup as he can play pretty good D. We need to get an everyday 2B/SS as the cajun connection is a failure. I wouldn't have a hissy-fit if we resign my old mate DeRosa. Fuck we missed him this year.

I have a feeling the Cubs will resign Harden. Why else shut him down? The guy is an enigma... he is either injured/banged up or has the best stuff in baseball.

Fontenot, Hoffpauir, Heilman, Gregg, Marshall should be all cut loose. Patton should be buried in a hole.
