Dayton will not sell. His contract expires after next season...he's going to give it one last shot...I think Santana is re-signed going into next season...we'll try this again, this time hopefully without Getz or Franceour. When coaches start getting replaced (Brett coming in) and veterans start getting sent down for assignments (Franceour) the writing is on the wall IMO. I think we sign another pitcher via FA heading into next season to compliment Duffy returning at full strength next season...hopefully when it's time to trade Shields and Santana, then Ventura and Zimmer will be waiting to take over. Might be a pipe dream though.

Shields
Santana
Duffy

Not sure what we'd be able to get out of Billy Butler. I'm all for selling him if it means another SP. Try and trade or sign Raul Ibanez as a DH as a stop gap and just hope he doesn't need a wheelchair next season. All the mother****er has done this season is sit his fat ****ing ass on the bench, been a liability on the base path and pops out a lot. Didn't Butler set a major league record a couple seasons ago for most double plays hit into? (horrible phrasing I know).

Butler is a good hitter, with "some" power....but he can't lift the ball out of the park like these other sluggers around the league can. And it's not because of the ballpark we play in...that's so much bullshit. This guy can't even top 30HR's. None of our guys can. 30HR's in this day in age isn't shit anymore folks. It's ****ing sickening. We haven't had a 30HR guy since Dye. Beltran did it the year we traded him but so what ..he didn't finish the season w/ us so what good does it to include him in that conversation?

We've sold our souls w/ these little dick 20-25HR guys like Sweeney, Guillen, and now Butler ...and probably Hosmer Gordon and Moose when it's all said and done. This team has no ****ing power. Just little league small ball baby shit. I'm sick n tired of it. You can't win without hitting the god damn long ball.
