5 Step Program....
First to go has to be Soriano....been playing left field for 5 years and still plays it like he was never out there before plus he is without a doubt the absolute dumbest hitter in MLB...not the worst, just the dumbest. Eat the fucking contract and get his ass out of town. Number 2 is Ramirez...he's been in decline for 3 years now. Number 3 is Zambrano...obvious reasons, he's an idiot plus he's lost 5 MPH off his fastball. Number 4 is the worst hitter in baseball. How is Koyie Hill still in Major League Baseball? Number 5 is collective....launch the manager, the GM and the whole coaching staff. You bring in a GM that wants to build a team instead of a steady diet of patchwork veterans, a manager that wants to teach basic baseball fundementals plus knows how to handle a pitching staff and a coaching staff thats willing to do extra time with the kids.
You hopefully get some decent prospects in return for eating some of these ridiculous contracts...you PRAY your moronic fanbase hangs in there till you finish building.
Its not a half bad start.....you play Colvin in right, Jackson in center and Byrd in left. Baker 3B, Barney 2B, Castro SS and Pena 1B. Soto & Castillo share the catching. You hang onto Fukudome till his contract runs out or unless someone makes you an offer.
