Might as well get this thing under way.
They've exercised the contracts on Ellis and Crisp, and have finally cut ties with Chavez.
They've won the rights to Hisashi Iwakuma...outbidding Seattle and Texas.
With a rotation of Trevor Cahill, Bret Anderson, Gio Gonzalez, Dallas Braden, and whoever (Mazzaro, Outman, Iwakuma, or whoever else), this has the potential to be the best rotation in baseball.
I was hoping this team would finish with around 85 wins last year but a record of 81-81 still should be considered a success.
We need a bat. Badly. Our best hitter smacked 284. Our best slugger hit 16 home runs. With all the arms we have stockpiled it looks like Beane is loading up for a possible trade. Barring that, we have some money to spend, but no free agent is going to make this stadium a priority.
I think our biggest needs are first base, outfielder, and DH. Werth would be pretty sweet - it would give us quite the upgrade and it would still give us the arms to make another deal if needed.
