Time now for the new GM Slyder to drag this team out of the duldrums that Bud "Cheapskate" Selig plunged the team into. There are some pieces but not enough to make a serious run at anything besides 3rd place so I expect some changes just a matter of how much people want me to change. Bill Bray is about the only "untouchable" since he's only 23 and still has a world of potential in the pen but just because Pujols, Santana, and Turnbow are on the block doesnt mean they are going anywhere.

The new GM was asked about those 3 and responded "I expect all 3 to be part of the franchise for the next few years."

The Lineup will change with some new FA acquistions as New GM Slyder attempts to peacemill a competant lineup together.

Lineup:
1 Mark Loretta 2b
2 Jeff Davannon RF
3 Albert Pujols 1b
4 Geoff Jenkins LF
5 Corey Koskie 3b
6 Brady Clark CF
7 Zach Sorensten SS
8 Mark L. Johnson Ca

The Rotation will see a large change over from last sim.

Rotation:
1 Johan Santana
2 Doug Davis
3 Dennis Tankersly
4 Cory Lidle
5 Mark Redman

The Pen should be one of the strengths of the team, even though that is not saying much.

Closer:
1 Derrick Turnbow

Setup:
1 Antonio Alfonseca

Mid Relief:
Matt Wise
David Weathers
Scott Strickland
Travis Phelps
