On the right Trax?

Trachsel is a swell guy and all, but if we can ship him out for that quality bat that we need (and can't seem to find on the FA market); then so be it. Or for that matter, I'm not adverse to signing Odalis Perez and shipping him out in a deal.  Trax, Perez, Vasquez -- any of those guys on the back of my rotation are AOK with me.

 

Happy to hear that the Manny rumors are alive and well again; but not clear where we're aiming Cliff and Piazza (if he's still on the block).  Not real high on trading for E. Byrnes, but then again, I don't know that much about him.  Chad Bradford isn't exactly sliced bread.

 

Main theory is we need to have guys on base...should be number one priority.  Homers and RBIs are nice, but we have a few guys who can deliver on that, provided someone is on in front of them.   Here's hoping that 2005 doesn't include any 10-game losing streaks.
