I think it is more realistic than trading for Gonzo. And we can sign Lackey still. We then will get a catcher like BArajas/Olivo/Molina for 2 years. We will get a good but cheap pitcher like Wolf or MArquis or GArland. We can boost the bench and bullpens A LITTLE BIT and MAYBE trade Castillo and sign Hudson. Yeah.

He only acts when people in NY are screaming for him to do something... We needed an ace two years ago, and fans wanted Santana (although we were a longshot). He delivered. Last year, we needed a closer and a better bullpen. He answered with K-Rod and Putz (still a great pickup despite the injury). We had the best bullpen in baseball in 2009. This year we have an obvious need for a power bat in LF (or 1B, but Omar <i>loves</i> Davis so I personally rule that one out). Who is available? Only one of the best hitters in the game who happens to play LF. Omar will sign Matt Holliday. Where he goes from there remains to be seen. Come on, we all know Omar is a GM for the fans.

Way to get to the bottom of things. Here all along I thought there would be a decent amount of teams looking for unproductive hitters. Thats why I'm just a dumb fan I guess.
