Method to my madness:

Basically the first thing I did was to leave 1st base open. I wanted to see if I wanted to have Loney, Fielder, or someone else there. I filled out the rest of my lineup, including having Andre in RF. I got Figgins at 3B, saying there should be a trade of Uribe for Figgins, with the Mariners just making the money work. They need a lil pop, but can't afford the big bats, but also want to get rid of Figgins. It was reported today they would kick in money to make a deal. Some of the posters who have been here longer know that I was hoping for the Dodgers to sign him a few years ago as a FA and have always liked him.

Both the Ellis and Rivera deal killed my payroll, and made me have to get rid of Andre. I propose a deal to a contender who loses out on Fielder/Albert, but needs some offense. The deal will most likely not help out our team right now, but would hopefully give us a 3B prospect that could be ready soon.(I'm looking at you Miami). I'm still an Andre guy and he would be the first guy I'd add back to this team if I had room. With Fielder's deal, I have him down for a backloaded deal and I think he'd take it because of his friendship with Kemp and wanting to play with him for the next 8 years, guaranteed. Also, Kemp could potentially help keep him in shape as they can work out together.  

Kuroda gets resigned for a slightly lower price because the Dodgers pitch them trying to make a winning team as a whole. Ely serves as long man, could be Trevor Miller. If Belisario is finally able to pitch, he is my last man.
