WSBB: What do you think of my Dodgers overhawl?

[donjn]

Out of sheer frustration of Dan Evans and to have a cool new look Ive decided to start a Dodgers franchise.

As the new owner I made a ton of changes. Ironically Adrian Beltre survived my changes. I made a lot of small trades and 3 blockbuster deals.

1. Traded Lo Duca and Mcgriff to SD for Klesko and Nevin.
2. Traded Green to the Yankees for Aaron Boone and Jeff Weaver
3. Traded Burnitz, Mota and Hundley to STL for Renteria and Tomko.
4. Traded Nomo to Hosuton for Hildago
5. Traded Cora and Ventura to MIL for Sheets.
6. Traded Chen to HOU for Ausmus (needed a catcher)
7. Dumped Ashby's salary to PIT for P. Reese
8. Dumped W.Alvarez's salary and Ward to TB for B. Grieve
9. Signed J. Hammonds
10. Sent Izturis, Coomer and Romano to BOS for Suppan, Burkett and Empree (I have no idea why Boston did this)

Yes my moves where drastic however look at this lineup:

Pitching:

1. K.Brown
2. B.Sheets
3. O.Perez
4. J.Suppan
5. K.Ishii

Spot Starters/Long Relief
Burkett
Weaver

Relief
Embree
Shuey
Quantrill
Gagne

Lineup:

ss Renteria
1b Klesko
3b Nevin

Re: WSBB: What do you think of my Dodgers overhawl?

I made a ton of moves with my Indians and have ended up with an awesome team.

Rotation:
T Hudson
AJ Burnett
K Wood
CC Sabathia
Juan Cruz (ex Cubs I think)

Bullpen
Cliff Lee
Alex Herrera
Carl Sadler
Mark Wohlers
David Riske
Felix Rodriguez
Bob Wickman

Lineup
Randy Winn
Carlos Beltran
Eric Chavez
Mike Sweeney
Travis Hafner
Brandon Phillips
Paul LoDuca
Carl Crawford
Omar Infante

Bench
John MacDonald
Sean Burroughs
A random Outfielder I never heard of
Victor Martinez

Out for the Season
Coco Crisp
Raul Ibanez

Currently in the middle of the ALCS. Won the first game from 2-0 on a LoDuca 2 run 2 out homer and a scuicide squeeze by Brandon Phillips.

I love this game.

Trading AI is slightly unrealistic in that the CPU gives up top prospects too easily but hey - I am having some fun.

Also I got more value for players like Lawton, Burks, Baez, Gutierrez, Vizquel than you would in real life.

The wage bill is low, income is increasing and I have a number of top prospects. I'm going to make a run at Vlad in the offseason.
