I'm a little concerned that they explicitly make this dependent on re-signing Millwood. I'm just hoping we get Howry and Wickman under contract quickly and Arthur Rhodes' family situation is resolved. Not to be overly optimistic, but adding Cabrera to the bullpen will make it the best the Indians have had in my lifetime.
Now to figure out what to do with Ben Broussard to get him to have a good season instead of 20 good games...
I doubt we'll be able to re-sign millwood, but I think we've still got a good top 3 in the rotation without him and I think Elarton has a good chance of being back. Maybe a guy like Jason Johnson from free agency or Jeremy Sowers or Jason Davis from our farm system could fill that #5 spot. I think we should bring up Ryan Garko to compete for first base with Broussard and I think right field is where we'll have to sign somebody out of free agency. I'm almost positive Howry and Wickman will be back, I think they're both Schapiro's #1 priorities. That said we have a lot less holes to fill this off-season than most teams and they arent even really crucial holes to fill, good news is we've got this team together until at least 2009 for the most part. The Tribe's the real deal now and I dont think a World Series is a far fetched dream this season.
I think we need to find somebody good to replace Jose Hernandez. The market looks thin though. Maybe a guy like Rey Sanchez, though I'm not sure it's worth that kind of money. Rich Aurilia or bring back Vizcaino?
