In addition to The Rocket, SFE is expecting to let go of the following:
(1) Jorge Posada - Not his best season, but still one of the top catchers in the game
(2) Placido Polanco - Want a 2b2 with a .331 average and .390 OB% in a pitchers' park? I thought you did!
(3) Brad Radke - Classic #2 starter, with a 3.71 ERA and 1.15 WHIP.
(4) Esteban Loaiza - Much the same as Radke, with higher upside (see 2003) and downside (see 2004)
(5) Bill Mueller - 3b2 hitting .299/.374/.445
(6) Rudy Seanez - 49 IP and counting of 2.96 ERA and 15/71 BB/K ratio
(7) Justin Speier - 57 IP and counting of 2.81 ERA and 0.90 WHIP
As with The Rocket, I am looking for prospects and picks.
I am not looking to move the guys who had down seasons. Feel free to make an offer, but I will pretty much have to be blown away to consider trading Beltran or Greinke, and I would want good value (assuming a bounceback 2006 season) for Schilling, Foulke, Benitez, Thomas, or Nomar.
Again, not looking to move these guys until the offseason is truly under way, but thought I'd put it out there.
