BLOW THIS TEAM UP!
I'm writing this in preulde to the sweep the Orioles will inevitably carry out today and tonight in the doubleheader.

This team needs to be blown up. We need to trade Nomar ASAP and get some prospects. We can get some AA guys for Lowe or a bullpen guy and I wouldn't mind trading Nixon. With Shoppach coming up and the ebst backup C in baseball, we shouldn't resign Varitek unless he takes a serious discount. We also shouldn't sign Pedro. You can't believe how hard it is for me to say that but he'll want about $15M and he just isn't worth it.

Here's what I think the team should be next year:
C: Shoppach/Mirabelli (8)
1B: Ortiz (3)
2B: Bellhorn (6)
3B: Youkilis (9)
SS: Mueller (7)
LF: Nixon (5)
CF: Damon (1)
RF: Beltran (2)
DH: Manny (4)

SP1: Schilling
SP2: Wakefield
SP3: Pavano
SP4: Penny
SP5: Arroyo

CP: Foulke
RP: Timlin
RP: Embree
RP: Kim
RP: Dinardo
RP: Leskanic

C: Shoppach/Mirabelli
OF: Kapler
IF: McCarty
IF/OF: Crespo
OF: Daubach?

Is it a great team? No. But neither is the one on the field right now and this team is younger and cheaper and the SPs are deeper.
