Feliciano and Heilman (add Evans if you need to since Omar backed out before, Rox might ask for more now) Then with the money that we theoretically saved on the K-Rod deal, use it to sign Cruz.... Then if Omar wants to go crazy, see how interested Cordero is on coming to NY... K-Rod Street Cruz Parnell Smith Shoe Stokes Possibly Cordero.... Not to shabby I say trade for Street… Feliciano and Heilman (add Evans if you need to since Omar backed out before, Rox might ask for more now)

Parnell
Smith
Shoe
Stokes
Possibly Cordero….

They took chances on JD Durbin (who previously was a nobody); JC Romera (who the Red Sox simply waived); and Brad Lidge (who was persona non grata in Houston because of his alleged fragile psyche and diminished skill). And they stuck it out with Ryan Madson after a few mediocre years. Look at the Phillies as an example of how a team builds a good (great?) bullpen.

Injury? Circumstances? I liked him the year before. Omar likes to accumulate guys who are coming off bad years because he can get talented players on the cheap. Why was Rauch bad last year? Injury?

By the way I love how Cot's contracts already has Francisco Rodriguez listed as a Met, it looks GOOD!

Then, keep a spot for Smith, and let the two remaining spots come from Sanchez, Stokes, Parnell, Kunz (who's probably not ready), and one of Show/Feliciano (trade the other). That, my friends, is a shut down pen. I would probably sign Cordero and Ohman and trade for Street.

Trade for street and sign Cordero. Everyone else should be not be FA. What's the point in overpaying these FA relievers when rookie and arbitration level relievers can be just as crappy only cheaper.

Doesn't make the most sense, but I would love to have him. Maybe they don't feel he has the talent Betancourt does? That sounds unlikely....you know, that rumor makes absolutely no sense. thanks for pointing that out. Thats what I thought, but I read the Indians would move him in an article.

His $393,000 salary certainly won't burden them. If they move someone upon signing Wood, my bet would be Rafael Betancourt. @PeckWizzle, why would the Indians move Jensen Lewis?

Church has more upside and overall game. He hits the ball hard almost every time and plays great D. After the bullpen overhaul, we need 2 starters, who should both be acquired by trade (free agent options are not worth the money). Murphy and Tatis are both offensive players who should do great in left and unless Castillo moves we're stuck with him. Schneider could move but its unlikely. Jeff Baker would be a good option for 2nd if we could work out a deal for him and street. No Ibanez. Church has more upside and overall game.
