Immediate fix for now and the future

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

Lineup

Maier CF
Aviles SS/2B
Butler 1B/DH
Ka'aihue 1B/DH
Callaspo 3B
Gordon LF/3B
Pena C
Miller LF/RF
Falu / Getz 2B/SS

Byrnes, Betemit benched.

This lineup CANNOT be worse than the current.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Demote Hochevar to AAA - Hochevar needs to regain his confidence.

Promote Phillip Humber to KC - Humber has pitched pretty well in AAA.
Promote Bryan Bullington to KC - at 29, he deserves a look.

Rotation:

Greinke
Meche
Bannister
Davies
Humber
