Update: HOLLIDAY A CARD 7yr/120 million, p178

I think we can safely blame Pujols' production falling off that cliff on Lugo's arrival and not Holliday's.

Trade Ludwick?

[Swatcat27]

how much money do you think there is left for MO to go spending ?
I really wish he goes after some relief help...we need a backup plan for Franklin in case he implodes.

Trade Ludwick?

Wouldn't be surprised.

According to Leach, there is about $6-7 million left to spend.

Smoltz and a RP and done.

[Eephus Speed]

~$5-6M, I believe. Can we trade Ludwick for Kelly Johnson?

And let's trade Lohse...yeah, right.

Fixed.

I'd rather Smoltz start and Garcia be a swingman/6th starter (not too many innings after surgery plz), and then Smoltz can be a RP in the playoffs.

5th starter is rarely needed to actually start every 5th day (due to off-days); if they need to give him rest they can do so. I'd like to see what Garcia's got. Besides, I'm not sure Smoltzy will go that cheap. At this point I would think he's going to go the Roger Clemens/Pedro Martinez route and sign halfway through the year.

At this point, I'd say Lohse is probably going to slot in as the 4th/5th starter anyways.
