Here we go:
Trade Podsednik - solid prospect, catcher, OF
Trade Dejesus - solid reliever - minor league pitcher - OF
Trade Kendall - bag of balls - kool aid - cup of sand
Trade Guillen - prospect, failed prospect, minor league journeyman
Trade Betancourt - low value - minor league reliever, PTBNL
Call up -
Irving Falu, Alex Gordon, Wilson Betemit and Jai Miller
Sign -
Eric Byrnes - Byrnes is a hustle player and probably would provide some locker room +
Elijah Dukes - Dukes is still only 26. Give him a year in Omaha, see if he really wants it.
Any free agent catcher
