darrin erstad, please.

I heard that roger clemens guy has some potential

Craig Wilson

lol.... just say no to Todd Hollandsworth-less...

Shannon Stewart is a hometown guy, does he come back? or is he available for better gigs?

That is one sorry ass list of players. No wonder so much $$$ was thrown around this offseason at the few decent players who were available.

I'd take fliers on Preston and Craig Wilson.

How about Terrence Long? Former OAK A with speed, great D.

If Robby Hammock is actually a FA (I think Arizona still controls him), we need to sign him immediately.

 

I'd take looks at Erstad, Finley, and maybe Long for CF if we don't go the trade route. Hermanson, Park, and even Kolb, are probably worth looks in the bullpen if the cost is very very low.

 

Craig Wilson is going to be pricey. It's a luxury to upgrade Borchard.

is nixon still unhealthy?

I'd start making a TON of spring training invites.

Jorge Sosa comes off the list. He just signed with the Mets.

If Robby Hammock is actually a FA (I think Arizona still controls him), we need to sign him immediately.

 

Well, according to MLB.com, Hammock's a "minor league free agent." I don't think any team has "control" over minor league free agents (but I'm by no means sure).

 

Anyone?

Mike Cepicky seems to be an awesome talent lets sign him ...wait we already had signed him before, horrible list

He was a pretty good AAAA player ;-)

I don't know. Seems more like a has been.

Speaking of which...

 

? Free agent Shannon Stewart, a Miami Southridge High alum, has reached out to the Marlins, but Florida has serious concerns about his foot injury, which could restrict his ability to play the outfield.

I don't know that it helps that he hasn't played centerfield for seven years.

There's a few names on that list of outfielders I'd take over what we have...

I'd bring Ronny V. back for another tour of duty.

 

Lefties in the pen = a good thing

I'd take another Sosa not on this list...Sammy Sosa.

I wouldn't mind Preston Wilson
