pan6467, those proposals you make might be smart in video games but in real baseball they are illogical. Schilling is 37 and pedro has never been able to go a whole season off the DL. Maybe we should just try to sign nolan ryan out of retirement. All players get injured so unless you talking about griffey jr. then I don't care. Sabathia is out of shape lefty, Lee has had one average season, webb doesn't have nearly the stuff of prior or wood and mulder and hudson are nice but i'd take prior and wood anyday. A's can't even get out of the first round of the playoffs. Plus teams with young cheap good players don't trade for expensive veterans towards the end of the career like sosa cause they can't afford them. Adding delgado would add 20 mill. to the payroll and i'd rather keep the pitching staff nucleus and derek lee is a very solid player. Also baker wearing out staffs, when he was with the giants he was told he wore down the bullpen and now he wears down starters just because a few got injured. The bullpen will be a lot stronger too with the addition of rusch, borowski, dempster, and maybe guzman if they add him to the pen when he gets healthy. I think the cardinals will struggle in october but right now i'd take their lineup over the yankees
