Arm problems much? Thanks for the kind words - looking forward to reading your site as well!

Garland, Ohman, and Durham would all be great adds IMO. I’m really starting to warm to Garland. Garland, Ohman, and Durham would all be great adds IMO.

Something's got to be wrong with Sheets, though. We've scarcely heard his name during this offseason. I'd as soon pay what had been allocated for Fuentes to get someone like Sheets, or even Smoltz, and cast your lot at 2B with Kennedy and Barden. Great blog, btw. I especially dig your iPhone-friendly theme. If there are plans to bring in a free-agent starter, I think it would be easier to sign Sheets than Perez.

He's also not a Duncan style pitcher in my mind. Focus has almost got to be on starting pitching right now. If Carp is healthy and can start then great, bump whoever isn't getting in done in ST to the pen as long relief. Garland could be a good fit. Wolf has my interest as well, but his price still needs to fall a bit which means the 'money' teams in the hunt for a pitcher need to pass on him first. I'd really like to see Sheets in the rotation if it were a two year deal and he was healthy to at least start the year. Grudz would be a great addition if Kennedy could be sent packing in the process. Problem is that Grudz is great when he plays, but the last few years have seen lots of back issues among other injuries that severly limits his P/T. I'd still take Hudson as the starting 2B and Durham would make a great backup to AK if we didn't sign Hudson. I'd really like to see Smoltz come here if he says he is healthy. He is a fierce competitor and likes to win. Tony would love his experience for sure.
