If you could choose your team's moves this offseason what would you do?

I saw this on the MLB boards and thought it was a great idea. I'll start.

Cardinals
1. I would resign Felipe Lopez i like this guy and he has a good bat as he went on a tear after joining the team. Have him play short.
2. Just get a left-handed relief pitcher hopefully Fuentes and have him split closing with Chris Perez. Also resign Looper.
3. Get either Orlando Hudson or Brian Roberts they are pretty close in ability but i like Roberts. Play him at second.
4. Get a low budget 5th starter. Maybe a number 2 considering Loshe kinda fell apart at the end of the season. With all the injuries we need one. If Cubs don't resign him Ryan Dempster we have the money so make it happen Mozeliak. If we can do this i think we can make the playoffs next year.

1.Schumaker
2.Lopez/Ankiel/Ludwick
3.Pujols
4.Ludwick/Ankiel/Glaus
5.Glaus/Ankiel
6.Ankiel/Glaus
7.Molina
8.Pitcher
9.Roberts/Miles

1.Wainwright
2.Loshe
3.Carpenter
4.Wellemeyer
5.Looper/Pineiro


Fuentes/Perez closing.

Re: If you could choose your team's moves this offseason what would you do?

1. Extend Nick Markakis
2. Sign Mark Teixiera and A.J. Burnett
3. Trade for a shortstop...Jason Donald from the Phillies would be ideal
4. Extend Brian Roberts, and if you can't, trade him.
5. Sign a backend rotation starter
6. Trade Ramon Hernandez and let Matt Wieters start the year as the starting catcher

Re: If you could choose your team's moves this offseason what would you do?

1. Try and sign Sabathia and Teixeira.
2. Offer Abreu arbitration. If he accepts it he'll be fine for a year, if not let him walk and get a 1st round pick from whoever signs him.
3. Resign Pettitte and Mussina if he decides to return.
4. Try and work a trade with the Giants with the base of it being Cano for Cain.
5. Sign Orlando Hudson.

1. Offer a truckload of money to K-Rod (Dumbrowski already said he won't though).
2. Offer a truckload of money to Sabathia (see above).
3. Dangle a pack of smokes on a fishing pole over a cliff and have Leyland lunge for them.

Re: If you could choose your team's moves this offseason what would you do?

1. re-sign Burnett. If that's not possible then use the money on a good hitting DH type. I'd take a flier on Griffey personally but probably would be content with Raul Ibanez

2. Try to get Furcal and lock him up to a 4 yr deal.

3. Dangle Rios for a frontline starter. I know there are GMs out there that would be willing to make that kind of trade.

-- relief pitchers

-- more relief pitchers

-- a ton of relief pitchers



Seriously - need to address the pen, second base, and maybe a LF...

Giants


- Sign Bonds, at whatever cost (not dollar amount, but media aggravation)

Smart move by Dombrowski then. Whoever overpays for K-Rod will be in the running for worst offseason signing of the year.

Pirates

1. New Ownership with money.

Nothing else matters until that occurs.
