New Offseason Wishlist

Excuse my regurgitation, but if I ever decide to look back at this offseason I can see how my thoughts of what I would want the dodgers to do change as transactions occur. 

  1. Trade Pierre.
  2. Trade Kent or let him retire because of his bad attitude.
  3. Trade for Miguel Cabrera with no more than LaRoche, Elbert, Meloan, and Pierre with cash or Firmly commit to LaRoche as the dodgers third baseman.
  4. Leave Santana alone until I can figure out what he's worth giving up :)
  5. Don't trade for Erik Bedard under any circumstances.
  6. Sign Andruw Jones or trade for Rios, Crawford, Victorino, Willits, or Cody Ross (yeah, I've given up all hope for Ellsbury).
  7. Trade Furcal while he's still valuable and let Abreu and/or Hu have the job.
  8. Get an extra draft pick for offering compensation to Gonzo (he won't accept because he knows he won't have a starting job).
  9. Sign a starting pitcher like Kuroda, Wolf, or even (as a last resort) David Wells if he wants to come back.
  10. Announce some semi-high profile latin free agent player signings showing the team is committed to paying for talent over there again.
O.K.  I think that's it for now.  I don't expect many of these to happen.  I am not going into who people I wished traded get traded for and I won't propose who the dodgers give up to acquire guys wished for.  I didn't even get too specific on contracts.  We'll see what I wish for next week or so.
