Folks, you'll be glad to know that in my first days as owner/GM of the Kaiserville Loathsome Turds, I've been able to significantly upgrade the team's prospects for this year.
First, I robbed BBZ blind in a trade which netted a LH hitting young catcher (he will DH for me against righties) and an excellent infielder/outfielder who has been inserted into the cleanup spot of an already strong lineup. I gave up two crappy malcontents. An example of building through trades.
Next, a prized FA switch-hitting left fielder, Satchel (yes, that's his name) Gentry accepted the LT's offer. He was a bit pricey, but with my payroll, easily affordable. I expect him to play everyday and be a mentor to my young, but talented, CFer, who should blossom as the year goes along. An example of building through the FA market. And still, I have a balanced strong team, with a low payroll.
In other words, Jocketty, I know you're out there. Take notice.
Now, I'm shopping, still, for arms. I have some things to offer. I want guys who throw hard--young or middle aged. All reasonable offers will be entertained.
Season opens soon with my team destroying Devaskar's bunch. I'll keep everyone updated. You're welcome.
