Lowe makes a lot of sense. Beef up the pen. I only hope they do not overpay for an aging left fielder. The market is thin and these kids Murphy and Evans, while not the organization's jewels, are proving to be tough outs. Their ability to work the count deep every time up cannot be underestimated. Paul O'Neill was a master at it and I see the same ability in Church. It definitely sets up nicely for the rest of the lineup. If we did make a huge splash in left field, it's really unfortunate that we're stuck with Castillo (who was hobbling on Wednesday by the way). Murphy could be a nice fit at 2B. I hear ya.

I don't think the turnaround happens with Randolph at the helm. You hit the nail on the head, Mikey. I don’t think the turnaround happens with Randolph at the helm.

Omar would never commit to 2 5 year plus contracts for the rotation next season. I would love to have CC but you are not getting Perez and CC.

If it's 15 million what's an extra million. Do you think Kunz will be ready to close next year if Wagner is still getting injured and having dead arm. Even in 2010 Kunz will most likely not be ready. So it's either trade for a top closer costing a top prospect and 10 million or sign Krod for 15 million costing the money and 2 picks. Tough decision. Personally if I could trade for Street that would be the road I would take. If only because there are no others available and will not be any that hit the market for a while.

(Sign Ollie too.) Johan CC Perez Pelf Maine WOW We would still have a hole in left field, but the current platoon should be good enough for one more year (Murphy/Evans/Tatis).

I tend to agree with the BIlly Beane strategy on that. I don’t see a point to pay a closer in excess of $14MM per year. I tend to agree with the BIlly Beane strategy on that.
