There is going to be plenty of over hauling going on this off season. Maybe even a couple of last minute trades before the deadline. With Bedard and Batista hopefully leaving and/or getting traded that would free up a serious amount of green backs for some new, younger talent. Hell, we would get 9.5 mil just by getting rid of an over rated, over paid pissy ass closer named Batista. I never like Bedard. I would gladly take a swift kick in the nuts if it meant that we could off load his negative mindset from the locker room. It doesn't help to have a guy like him on the roster or in the locker room bringing guys down. Never a good situation when a guy is somewhere he doesn't want to be.

The best pick up we have gotten so far this year, I think, I Hannahan. I about crapped myself when I heard that the A's were gonna give him to us. Fresh blood and motivation is nice to see. The offensive side of the house will come around. It just takes time when you are trying to overhaul the roster and the check book at the same time.
