Okay, I should just get this out of the way also, even though the team depresses me.  Clearly we sacked the idiot GM who made so many terrible decisions last offseason.  I hate that guy!  

Technically, the only gaping hole is at 2B, but opportunities for improvement are everywhere.  Pretty much everyone at the major league level is available, but I will probably keep their few useful guys under 30.  I would  prefer to trade for younger major league players instead of prospects, since SHI doesn't have much room in the minors.   

Anyway, here's what SHI has to offer:

  • SP of varying quality and quantity: RA Dickey, CJ Wilson, Collmenter, Feldman, Garza. Tropeano 
  • Useful RP who mostly have low IP: Jake McGee, Diekman, Thornburg, Capps, Morin, Jannsen
  • Batters who were great recently, if not now: Longoria, Markakis, Melky Cabrera, Zimmerman, Molina (not sure I can really quit Yadi)
  • Batter acquired cheaply who bounced back strong: Moreland (sadly short list)
  • Young batters who make me sad: Billy Hamilton, Jose Ramirez
  • Pretty much worthless crap: Rutledge, Corporan, DeJesus, Schafer, O'Flaherty (plus a lot more who disappeared completely)

Gee, so that leaves only Semien, Corbin, and Bassitt...none of whom are really all that great.  Damn, why didn't I just give up this team?  Oh yeah, Mazara and Snell and more are coming!  So there's that, but for now...ugh.
