I skipped Vargas in the rotation on purpose. I will just be using him as a reliever because he only has 2 pitches. So until Cruz gets back ill using only 4 starting pitchers. Great game by webb last series, Hopefully I can cool off the rockies bats this time.

I didnt really give up much and I got a solid veteran relief pitcher. I Love the deal was a little suprised they would accept. Signed Wilson Delgado to give me some depth in AAA plus he is a decent contact hitter if needed to be called up.

Im going to use Wickman as the setup most likey. Valverde has only made one appearance and got the save. So my closer position should be fine for now.

How much CAP space do you have after the deal for Wickman? Seems like you took on a heavy load in that deal compared to what you traded away.

I have 7.2 M in cap space. Bob Wickman has a Phat contract worth 4.8 M and I noticed that when I traded for him. Thats probably why they dealt him to me for not a whole lot. Wickman has 4 good pitches and his best being a sinker which I can run up on in batters hands.

Right now I like the position im in with the team despite being 1 game under 500. I think I've improved my team quite a bit without giving up anything, I got me another pitcher for the rotation and a solid relief pitcher. My lineup is all healthy and hitting good. I think down the line later in the season I might need to add another hitter if possible, a player that can hit lefties.

Will you consider trading away veterans and dumping salary before the trading deadline if your playoff hopes are fading away or will you keep them and build around the same core for next season?

Maybe, but my record would have to be pretty bad. Right now on my team theres only one player that I could see myself getting rid of and thats Shawn Green. 10M contract and hes not that great of a fielder.

All in all I see myself keeping the core of the team together.

All I have to say is Wow! The guy is a beast. He can slug the ball with the best of them and has a cannon like rios from RF. He doesnt have any really standout attributes but he is good. Made a few great throws from right field getting outs at 2nd. Webb Vs Oswalt should be a beauty!

Really tough game 1 loss to swallow, Oswalt simply destroyed my batters and its unfortunate. Im not really worried about their hitters I think I can hold them in check again in this game.
