Kershaw, Cargo and Hanley are no-brainers. Assuming you can only take one pitcher, I'd go with Uggla. If you can take more than one, I'd go with Romero. That dude is legit and gets better every year. And I'd go with Santana over Posey. Posey will be coming off a major injury and I think Santana is simply better offensively, regardless.

So you'd take Romero over Uggla?

That's like a toss-up IMO, but I think I would lean towards Romero. The 30+ home runs from your 2b spot are great, but Uggla will be 32, and those 3 Dunn-like months to start the year have to worry you. Romero has been great and just keeps improving year to year. Being in the AL East is the only thing that worries me about him.

August 30, 201114 yr Author It sucks, because there are a couple of other guys I would really like to keep. I hate having to give up any of my catchers. I know some of those hitters are having coming out parties next year.

September 15, 201114 yr Author I just snagged Matt Moore off of the waiver wire. I am going to sit on him over the winter and decide whether to keep him or Romero based on what Tampa gives as an indication of what his direction will be.
