Early August, I'm now only 15 games above .500 and have a one game lead in the division...and I now have Mauer, Span, Nathan and Liriano out for the season. I think I need a more realistic injury file!
I just acquired Adam Jones from Baltimore for a top prospect (A.Hicks), Guerrier and Redmond. I know, just what I need...another OF. I'm hanging onto Delmon Young, as his salary is very reasonable. I wish I could find a team that would take Cuddyer's salary, but I don't expect to have much luck with this. I'm also stuck with Punto and his high salary...but, he just accepted an assignment to AAA. If only I could stick Cuddyer back at 3B! Has anyone found a place for Cuddyer or Punto?
I've considered several deals for a SS, but all would require giving up Jones or a starter. I'm not sure I'm ready to pull the trigger on these yet, as Casilla & Harris have held up fairly well in the middle infield.
