CASTILLO AND THAT WAS HIS SPECULATION ON TRADING CASTILLO TO SNAKES WHO ARE CONSIDERING EASLEY AS A REG PLATOON 2B, D'BACK HAVE A CONTRACT THEY'D LOVE TO GET OUT FROM UNDER FOR 2Y/22M TO ERIC BYRNES. WHAT I'D LOVE TO SEE IS A VEGAS GAMBLE ON CASTILLO FOR BYRNES & SIGNING FURCAL FOR 2B. THAT SIMPLE SET OF MOVES WILL SUPPLY ENOUGH NEW ENERGY TO THE CLUBHOUSE AS TO BE THE ENVY OF THAT DRUM POUNDING BUNNY. TO HAVE BACK-2-BACK LEADOFF HITTERS OF THAT CALIBER IN REYES & FURCAL & WACKO BYRNES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LINEUP WOULD BE ENOUGH TO TAKE CITIFIELD OFF THE GRID WITH PLENTY OF ELECTRICITY IN THE LINEUP & FROM THE FANS. IT'S SO LOGICAL AS TO NOT BE CONSIDERED. I'D LIKE IT SO MUICH THAT IF SNAKES WERRE HESITANT I'D THROW IN EITHER EVANS, MURPHY OR CARP FILLING 2 OF THEIR JOLES 2B & LF & SAVING THEM 4M CAPSLOCK=DISABILITY ACCOMODATION

He'll get better. Besides, I wouldn't call him terrible. He played LF on the fly last season and did better than some guys who played out there a long time. You can learn how to field though.

I like the kid but he's not the next David Wright and the expectations people are putting on him are getting crazy Murphy reminds me of a LH, healthy and young Moises Alou just he’s a terrible fielder.

Can't go top shelf with every spot at the same time. And as always, you have to look at what the market gives you and go with what is there. Don't chase the rare bird if there is a supply of something else you also need. yup. Can’t go top shelf with every spot at the same time.

I think if you totally revamp the bullpen and sign Tex ... you don't have to spend so much on the starting rotation. It would be a much better team. I agree with you.

The SPs isn't really a big concern. They have some spots to fill, but the rotation did mostly OK last year, and the open spots were the weak links. As-suming Maines issues were related to the bone spur (seemingly fixed) and he gets back to where he shold be, the top 3 are solid. So you are replacing erratic Ollie, and the poo poo platter of 1/2 year or less of Pedro and whatever stiff had that spot. Not sure what you get out of neise. So I prefer to not pencil him in out of ST. perfect for AAA getting his stuff sharp for the inevitable mid-season call up. So, IMO, 2 solid guys (not just back end stiffs, but maybe legit #3 types) will be enough to get the job done. Garland could probably do the job. Or marquis. Or Wolf. Even better, go with Sheets (more upside, but injury risk) along with a durable back end guy. Or Randy J. Vazquez of course would have fit the bill. Now, a nice young guy to slot in longer term would be great. Sonnastine? Still really unproven (no more so than Pelfrey I guess). Maybe Snell, or someone like that? Rigth age, has stuff, just had a bad year? Could he be the 2009 Cliff lee? to wind this up, rebuild the pen, sign Tex, improve the bench, and don't go nuts with the rotation and that pretty much takes care of the team. Oh, and really don't be surprised when the back end guy to fill in the rotation ends up being another year of Pedro. As the #5 guy instead of a marquis? this might make me a heratic, but I think TRS would agree. The SPs isn’t really a big concern.
