Pre Free Agents Team

Well, the winter has arrived, and the free agency period is upon us. This is the time of year when we're going to set the Senators up for failure or success in coming years. Looking at last years financial outcome, we had quite a bit of success, and made a considerable profit, leaving us with roughly over 70 Million cash to spend on coaches, free agents, and resigning players so far.

As per the self discipline I set earlier, I'm not going over 50 Million for free agents. 20 million or so should leave me with enough to resign the key guys for years to come.

But first, here's your 2004 WINTER Senators:

Moises Alou
Clay Bellinger
Rigo Beltran
Rocky Biddle
Ron Calloway
Matt Cepicky
Endy Chavez
Matt Childers
Chad Cordero
Zach Day
Clint Everts
Livan Hernandez
Paul Hoover
Joe Horgan
Sun-woo Kim
John Labandeira
Luis A. Lopez
John Patterson
Brian Schneider
Claudio Vargas
Jose Vidro
Brad Wilkerson

So what we can see from this is pretty simple. What i need to do is get the bullpen better, get another top end starter, and get a left side of the infield. I've got a few moves in mind, and Jason Bay is someone I'd really like to try and get my hands on, to see if I can move Alou's contract, because he's just old and ridiculous. A reliable lefty in the bullpen is going to be priority, and we don't know how well Vargas or Everts handle pressure situations, which, we hope, will be apart of this years club here in Washington.
