First the hard part. Billy Butler to the Rays for:
RHP James Shields
RHP Chris Archer
(A) OF Prospect Drew Vettleson
Next Trade is Tim Collins and Monty to the Reds for:
RHP JJ Hoover
Next is FA time we sign two guys:
RHP Brandon McCarthy 3 year 20 mil.
C AJ Pierzenski 2 year 15 mil.
2013
CF Cain
SS Escobar
LF Gordon
C Perez
DH Pierzenski/ Frenchy
RF Myers
3B Moose
2B Getz/
1B Hosmer
#1 Shields
#2 McCarthy
#3 Archer
#4 Hoover
#5 Odorizzi
Line up gives up options at DH and C, also allows Dyson more pinch running options. Billy would be missed, but this starting five would be nice, and payroll would be around $70.
