Just on an interim basis to breathe life until a permanent solution takes over New Orleans (and moves them, clearly too crowded down here, LSU baseball gets more attention )

A lot of guys that were not used by the last GM will in fact be used, so I really don't know what to expect. This team went from back to back 90 win seasons to 71-91. They don't have much pitching, so I basically had to buy whatever I could even though most of the land was bought up by the white man in Chicago. Ironically enough, this was once Dam's team when they were.. the white sox!

Pen:

Francisco Liriano, 10-6-7 <--- Closer

*Deal pending

Pitching staff has been revamped with Marshall, Albers hopefully, and Brazelton. Pen is just.. a work in progress, hopefully Liriano can be similar to K-Rod with his high strikeout rates. Lineup is solid, but unspectacular. Also, too many hot corner players has created a log jam, so Alex Gordon, he drew the short straw and has to be 2B until I can get this team a middle infielder or another CF. Division is packed though, with Detroit, Las Vegas and the AL champ Kansas City.
