Alright, let's get this started.
1. Teixeria(29)- (5years-90mil). Kotchman will play third base where he has played before and covering a hole that we have had since Troy left. If Hunter and Andrew got this type of money Teixeria will too.
2. Lackey(30)- Instead of resigning the club option take the salary Anderson was making and give it to him (5years- 65 mil)
3. Damn Krod---- I would have to give Lidge a one year closing roll for 8 million, so we can spend the season splitting time between Lidge and Sheilds. Sheilds will close in 2010.
4. Mark Prior-- This is one of the greatest pitchers i have been able to see, but the past 4 years he has had health problems. We can give him something like the Padres gave him this season (1 million). Just think about the return we can get if he breaks out at the age of 27 which as some baseball players and fans believe that is the break out year. I would sign him to a 1 year deal at 1.5 million with 5 million in bonuses if he can meeting innings pitched and K's set in contract.
5. Adam Dunn(29)- He just seems unhappy with where he is and needs a change. He has a lot of talent and can hit the long ball for us.
If anyone is wondering why I didnt take a SS it is because the SS listed are aging and with Kotchman going over to 3 base I would try figgins at SS for a season to see how well he can do.
Again guys, this is just out of fun.
GO Angels!!!
Forgot about the lineup.
1. Figgins(ss)- leadoff--speed
2. Kendrick(2nd)-speed
3. Vlad(DH)- splits time with Dunn- Matthews goes back and forth.
4. Teixeria(1st)- need I say more
5. Hunter(cf)-speed
6. Dunn(LF)- damn, power coming from our number 6 guy
7. Kotchman (3rd)
8. Mathis(catcher)
9. Matthews-speed
