Kevin Warren is an ass
that's a nice wish list and the first one is obvious that possibly Shapiro along with him.NFBuck;1486709; said:Here's what I hope to see going forward:
I know that's asking a lot, but it's not outside of reason.
- Wedge [censored]canned at the All-Star break, pick an interem. In the offseason find a manager that isn't a complete [censored]ing moron.
- Trade Victor for at least one near major league ready starting pitcher and another decent prospect or two. I hate to see Victor go, but he's our most valuable trading piece.
- Trade DeRosa for a couple of decent prospects.
- Unload the following (if possible) to the highest bidder: Peralta, Pavano and Wood. I know none of them have much, if any, value now, but if any of them get hot, somebody may show interest.
- By late August, LaPorta and Brantley getting significant playing time. LaPorta continues to hit well in Columbus and Brantley has come around after a slow start. Hopefully Brantley shows enough to allow him to take over the leadoff spot next season and slide Grady down in the order where he belongs.
- Move Sanatana up to Columbus and call him up in September. We need his development to be fast because Shoppach is not any everyday catcher.
- Hopefully Victor nets a good young starting pitcher that's ready for some September work.
- In the offseason, sign at least one decent SP to supplement the rotation: 1) Cliff, 2) Hopeful FA, 3) Hopefully Jake, 4) Trade acquisition via Victor, 5) Fausto/Laffey/Huff/Somebody else
- Sure up the BP through decent FA signings.
- Sign a capable FA 3B...doesn't have to be a big money guy, just somebody better than Peralta.
I don't know about Victor. I am unsure of his age but I guess with Sizemore, Choo, and Brantley Laporta could play first base. However, that would mean we have to find a catcher. I know that Santana is good but he's not quite ready yet and I don't know if I want to rush him. They have a somewhat decent catcher in Columbus that could be a fill-in depending upon when the moves are made.
DeRosa is a no-brainer and could bring some young quality prospects.
I don't know about Woods since his contract is pretty big. It might be hard to move him.
Moving JP is a no-brainer but I don't know what you can get for him unless he would start hitting again like he did last season.
In Addition to Wedge, his entire coaching staff must go.
I would wait before making a move with Pavano until later in the season because teams in the hunt might be desperate.
Though we have anyone in the minors that is ready to play third base--Hodges possibly. We seem to have a glutton of first baseman in the minors but not many middle infielders to the best of my knowledge.
I guess I might get rid of wedge first and see how the team reacts with a new manager but who would that new manager be
