Looks like you could use a reliever. I happen to have an extra one...

[bjd2933]

Want to see how ****ed this team is financially...

Giambi(19.5 Mil)
Delgado(13.9 Mil)
Mussina(16.5 Mil)
Wright(7 Mil)
and possibly Pavano(9.6 mil)

may not even be on my opening day roster...

I may make a few very minor signings to fill out my bench. I tried to get Shea Hillenbrand, but he didn't like my organization...

I dare you to cut them all and see what happens to your finances... just for fun. Except keep Pavano.

Eh... I'll just ride out the hideous contracts and let them all be superstars in AAA.

Wright may have minimal trade value if someone is desperate for a 5th starter... I'd deal him for absolutely nothing... his ratings are still solid

DeSalvo and DePaula may beat glass carl out for the 5th starter spot.
