Its not my nature to dwell on negatives. You got what you put into this season. If you followed them closely, you were elated with the highs, depressed with the lows, and encouraged by the kids. In short 162 + days of entertainment and excitement.
Loved the performance of :
David O.
Manny ( If they trade, I hope we get a ton, dougt it though )
Tony G. ( I hope they resign him )
Johnny D. ( hope they resign, but I don't think they will be able to afford him )
Bill M. ( they should resign )
John O. ( loved him but his days are pretty much done )
Manny D. ( don't know how or why he fell into Tito's dog house )
John Pap. ( oustanding will definately be key next year )
Hansen ( the real deal )
Tim W. ( love the guy )
David W. ( tough competitor )
Mike T. ( great season )
Mike M. ( above and beyond )
Bradford ( pleasant surprise )
There most definately be some changes :
Millar ( gone )
Cora ( maybe gone, depends on Pedrosia )
Youk ( third, first, or traded )
Trot. N. ( hope the surgery is successful, otherwise 1st base phase -in or trade ).
Schilling ( he'll work his ass off to get back, if he can't he'll retire, he's too damn proud )
Matt C. ( great 1st half, sucked in the 2nd, hit to the head, tired, teams figured him out ? )
Theo ( contract expires at the end of Oct ).
Tito ( will he be given another year ? )
Needs :
Power hitting 1st baseman ( Huff , Paul K. )
Outfield ( need 2-4 depending on resigning and trades, but not much out there for free agents )
Pitching, Pitching, Pitching ( not much out there for free agents, we'll go with home grown )
Minors :
We have alot of potential talent in the middle infield and pitching, but squat in the outfield or first.
