geez, Goodrum 6 triples in 10 games? That is ridiculous.

healthy Scott Baker

1) Span CF 2) Dozier SS 3) Mauer C 4) Willingham DH 5) Parmelee 1B 6) Arcia RF 7) Plouffe or Valencia or FA 3B 8) Benson/Revere LF 9) FA or Trade 2B (maybe Rosario) B- Revere OF B- Morneau 1B/DH B- Santana IF B- Hermann C SP- Shaun Marcum SP- Kyle Gibson SP- Scott Diamond SP- Liam Hendriks SP- Mark Appel/Kyle Zimmer RP- Bromberg RP- Burnett RP- Gutierrez RP- Waldrop RP- Guerra RP- Oliveros RP- Duensing CL- Perkins

Reject option and then offer him a 1-2 year contract while simultaneously making offers to Marcum and Edwin Jackson. Sign 2 of the 3 that are deemed the best cost per effectiveness or all 3 if the money is there. We'll have money to spend next year and almost all of it needs to go towards SP and possibly a rightfielder and/or 3B. The bullpen is set for next year even without Capps. Perkins, Burton, Duensing, Burnett, Oliveros, Guerra, Slama, Waldrop, then a long man of Swarzak, Walters, Diamond, Blackburn or whoever might not be in the rotation.

Sure he's fine, but he's kinda pointless to keep around since he's 30 and can't hold a K:BB of 2 and relief depth is the only thing we actually have sitting there in AAA. Rather figure out if Slama can actually get guys out in the majors or get Oliveros or Guerra up if they are ready and hell, Waldrop should be around soon as well. Gray is a placeholder.
