I'm already starting to tinker. Tell me what you think.
Shaun Marcum for Bronson Arroyo Kyle Blanks for Buster Posey
Ricky Romero for George Sherrill Alberto Callaspo for Juan Uribe
Still not sure about the last 2.
Sherrill replacements still out there are Mat Latos, Clay Buchholz, Scott Feldman, Jason Frasor, Nick Blackburn, Wade Davis. Uribe replacements still out there are Casey McGehee, Scott Sizemore, Ian Desmond, Chris Getz.
Even though Joba got roughed up a little bit, I'm hoping he can get back into his grove of the 8th inning man. But Dave Robertson is also intriguing. I can see him being Joes go to guy for 1 or 2 innings every few games.
Marcum brought a no hitter into the seventh but lost it, and he has been out for a year so expect nothing but good things from the Jays ace. You could probably use another reliable hitter in your lineup. Unless Joba gets into the rotation or gets closer, which both right now seem out of reach, especially after last night..then I think he is a waste of space on your roster. Sherrill is probably not going to take out Broxton neither, so he seems pretty irrelevant. I'd take Clay Bucholz for Sherrill, Marcum for either Arroyo or Chamberlain that is your call, and maybe someone to take Uribe's place. Uribe is pretty irrelevant almost every year, and keep an eye on Cuddyer because he is either good or just mediocre...so maybe look for a replacement, but that is what i would do.
Franklin Gutierrez, Nick Johnson, Scott Rolen, Mike Cameron, Jeff Francoeur are the best hitters aside from Callaspo. But I wanted him to fill up INF spots.

I think my team is pretty much done, unless I tinker with with the bench.
