I doubt Pena comes back as 1B coach but possibly as bench coach if the money is right. Luis "Waive 'em Home" Sojo? Affeldt is a free agent, you can just sign him, which would leave you with Farnsworth on the current squad. Giambi has a NTC, he has said previously that he would not waive it, so I don't see him being traded. You also have more than 25 players playing every day by my count. That bullpen drops off fast, after Mo and Street, you have Veras for the 7th inning. Not good. -Jitpal
1.) Yeah, Pena probably wouldn't come back. I'm sure a first base coach isn't all that tough to find
2.) Bowa was a good third base coach. Don't recall how bad Sojo was. Whatever, I'm sure we'll fill the position fine.
3.) Wasn't aware about Affeldt. Just sign him then and keep Farns in place of Viz.
4.) Giambi has little place here anymore. It might be time to try and convince him to go. A warm climate might be attractive to him since he's a Cali guy.
5.) My roster consisted of the player then the backup. I had 26 players on the roster. Take one of the guys out of the bullpen.
6.) I expect Ohlendorf to be better and some other arms to step up so the drop-off will not be as bad.
