Cut Blackburn, Pelfrey, and Correaia right now and seriously begin the process of rebuilding the team for 2016. We should adopt the Astro's model.

Trade him and continue to lay the foundation for a competitive team in 2014. I'd try to find a taker for Willingham as well.

Time to double down on the future and move both Morneau and Willingham. The team can't compete in 2013 and shouldn't cling to any such illusions.

Exactly. By the end of this year, his complete dearth of offensive skills will be glaringly apparent: no power and an on-base percentage below 300. Trade him for a warm arm or two.

Let's hope that Morneau and Willingham are moved next. The team, which shouldn't pretend that it can compete in 2013, must turn its attention to 2014 and beyond.

But Ryan was still involved with the team during Smith's reign. He wasn't drinking pina coladas with Ginger and Mary Ann in some lagoon in the Pacific.

What do you think they'll have to give up to get Shields? I can't imagine they'll be satisfied with Span without a prospect.

The Rays are too smart to trade Shields for Span. I'm afraid that they will fleece the team out of a top prospect.
