Trade Deadline Goals

I forget If I have done this before and I am too lazy to check my archive. 

  1. Decide who is the starter at 2nd base and trade the other one. It is either Grudz or Walker? Stop this platoon crap. Because Dusty isn't even platooning them correctly by starting Grudz against right handed pitchers.
  2. Find a bat. Upgrade the offense. With this pitching and more offense you have a better team.
  3. Find a closer. Whether it be Urbina, Mesa, Julio, or Dempster. One thing is to make sure Latroy Hawkins isn't the closer after Saturday.

That should be Hendry's mission to solve in the coming days. A good GM will solve these problems, a bad GM will say we can win by doing nothing. Let's see which GM decides to show up.
