Well after making a run at the money last year (and finishing 5th and out of it) I was pretty short on keepers. So i made two off season trades so far...
sent a 1st rd rsv pick to get Rick Porcello who is a $5 2nd year player
Also traded Will Myers (Farm) for Starlin Castro $10 yr 2 and Mike Minor $5 yr 1
I didn't like having to give up Minor but I thought getting 2 young guys with keepable contracts was worth it. Anyway so this is what those moves leave me with...
Locks...
Bill Butler $10 guaranteed through 2011
Brett Anderson $5 yr 2
Wade Davis $5 yr 1
Starlin Castro $10 yr 2
Rajai Davis $10 opt
Probably
Chris Carter OAK $5 yr 1
Mike Minor $5 yr 1
Rick Porcello $5 yr 2
Choices...
James McDonald $1 yr 2
Francisco Cordero $16 yr 2
Carlos Ruiz $2 opt yr
Bill Hall $5 yr 2
Brett Wallace $5 yr 1
Kyle Blanks $5 opt
Jorge Posada $11 yr 2
Jed Lowrie $3 yr 2
Rafeal Furcal $18 yr 2
Jon Garland $3 yr 2
Carl Pavano $10 yr 2
Joe Blanton $4 yr 2
Chris Volstad $5 yr 2
Any thoughts on anything would be appreciated. Thanks as always for your input.
