Thank God you're not the GM or manager, that's all I have to say.
It wasn't the moves that really scared me about your proposals as much (although most of them are very unrealistic.) But if you think a lineup of:
1) Starlin Castro SS
2) Tyler Colvin RF
3) Xavier Nady 1B
4) Malon Byrd CF
5) Chad Tracy 3B
6) Alfonso Soriano LF
7) Geovany Soto C
8) Darwin Barney 2B
9) Pitcher P
Would score more runs than our current lineup I really question your sanity.

That's a little harsh...
Um...Let's put it a different way.
Though some of your ideas are solid ones, we cannot do all of them at once. Several reasons for this. One, practicality. You're not gonna find suitors for Kosuke, Lee, Soriano, etc. Two, Soriano and Silva (and Fukudome to a lesser extent) have been playing really well, and you have to have some vets on the team for the young guns to learn from.
I think this may be a case of undeniable frustration more than anything else.
That is a pretty weak lineup and the pitching wouldn't be good enough to overcome the lack of runs scored imo.
1) No-trade clause
2) No-trade clause
3) No-trade clause, and if other teams are aware of certain numbers, they know he's a ticking time bomb just waiting to blow (literally and figuratively).
4) You mean only $2 million for a below-average defensive player with a .313 OBP? Where can the entire league sign up?
5) He has a .327 OBP and a .382 SLG.....in triple-A. Bad idea.
6) Not a bad idea.
7) That would leave the bullpen mighty thin, and I'm not sure how big ownership would be on just straight pissing away 500K like that.
8) The only value-bringer in this deal would be Fontenot, but why trade away your best-hitting middle IFer?
9) Full no-trade, full no-trade, too overpaid and full no-trade
10) If you're shopping him, why is he on the DL?
11) Not a bad idea
12) In order: Eh, bad and dominating AAA because he's 28
1) Like I said, he could waive it.
2) It is a limited NTC.
3) He he could be traded to a contender, why wouldn' he accept it.
4) I don't get what you mean.
5) Castro was not taking walks or pitches in the minors and now he is, so you can see if he would change. What is Theriot doing now? Not taking walks.
6) thanks
7) Get the youngster ups and Howry ain't good.
8) The trade Baker with Gorzo not Fontenot, that is why I said either. Castro is hitting.
9) That is why I said shop and see if a team bites but that is unlikely.
10) tHAT IS AFTER THE SHOPPING HAS FAILED, GIVE IT A WEEK THEN MAKE MOVE (sorry for caps)
11) Thanks.
12) It doesn't hurt to try and see what happens.
