On the block

Get these guys to warmer climates!

CF/RF John Sadao. The ideal platoon candidate - Sadao mashes right-handers (.839 OPS in '08) but has, how shall we say, some minor issues with southpaws (.538 OPS). Two-time all-star, usually among league leaders in doubles (top ten from '03-'08). Dresses up as both halves of Sonny and Cher for organization's Halloween party.

2B/SS Robert Ramsey. Two full years in the bigs, two all-star seasons. Came out of nowhere to hit .370 and win Newcomer of the Year in '07. Steals bases like an Enron accountant, and has two more arbitration years left. Invites his fellow middle infielders over for kung fu flicks and discussions about turning the double play every Thursday evening.

SP Santos Gonzalez. This lanky Dominican has loads of potential - talent ratings of 8, 6, and 10 for the major categories. Blistering 99 MPH fastball. In '04-'05, struck out 453 batters in only 229.1 minor league innings. Loves Fresca and the narrative poetry of Robert Browning.

The entire bullpen. No one's off limits there.
