Let's say ( God forbid) Santana trade works out like A-Rod trade in 2003. We make lot of noise - ultimately the Yankees get him. In that case - I feel OK with our rotation as well as the bullpen. We could use another big bat in the line-up but that's not gonna happen. The two positions I am not happy about is back-up catcher and the bench. Last year - our platoon of Hinske, Cora and WMP was probably one of the worst in the league. This year - how about we go with Carter, Lowrie and Crisp instead( I know Crisp is not happy with his situation). If Lowrie can play 2B and SS from bench - I will dump Cora's ass somewhere else if possible. Anyone agrees/disagrees?
Edit - Brandon Moss should be in the mix - and I don't mind Kielty either as a pinch hitter mostly against lefties.
