On another note I like the idea of going after a Dotel or Gagne if they could be had for a relatively cheap deal, which I doubt. But imagine: League in the 7th, Dotel/Gagne in the 8th, and Ryan in the 9th. And then there is Frasor and Accardo for middle innings, we’d just need a left-handed specialist and we’d have the strongest pen in all of baseball, our starters wouldn’t have to go very far into games at all.
A more realistic option would be to look for a team that is trying to dump salary, with the increase in salary we could absorb a SP and hopefully give up little in return.
