round 1 2008 free agent signings

[Slyder]

Oook I was seriously short on the idea closers wouldnt go for an arm and a leg and on the whoops scale...

Kansas City : P Josh Towers, 1,300,000 per year, for 1 year.
Kansas City : C Matt LeCroy, 600,000 per year, for 2 years.
Kansas City : C Carlos Ruiz, 305,000 per year, for 1 year.

Thats 1 catcher too many.

the only thing I recieved was a 2nd round pick for nathan. I did not have the cash to go after the big dollar players. Maybe the extra pick will be good.

Javy will fill the much used Tony Clark role, and allow Estrada to pinch hit if no one steps up with an offer for him, and DeRosa is the early favorite to start at second, especially against lefties. Who knows, maybe Hudson will be welcomed back now?

Plus, 2 more 2nd rounders! Damn that Jorge Julio for being a sissy.
