No One has made it. Those that think they have job security must realize that the team has had a playoff drought of one year. That kind of production is unacceptable. Already, starting SS Edgar Renteria has been dealt. Miguel Cabrera, who has only been a Moab in five seasons in the leauge, has been rumored in numerous blockbusters. Another member of Moabs since league's inception is Roy Oswalt, who is the subject of numerous deals. Many members of the Moab's starting rotation and players whom have assumed a position on the team, will not be back. The Moabs are also taking interviews for potential Bobby Cox replacements. The team has been rumored to be looking for a new philosophy.

Brooklyn Completes One of Four Trades
Brooklyn completed a deal with archrival Frostbite Falls Flying Squirrels. Brooklyn is known for their challenge trades in which both teams swap veterans hoping to get the better deal. Brooklyn sent oft-injured SS Edgar Renteria to solve the hole in Frostbite. The Dominican was quoted in Sports Graphic, "Great, Brooklyn wasn't cold enough for me, now I'm dealt to a place called Frostbite? Where is it anyway?" With multiple players at SS, and a $9 million tag, Renteria was expendable.
Brooklyn was said to have been looking for a more sure handed infield, and moving Troy Tulowitzki into the starting rotation is a good start. Brooklyn acquired LF Jason Bay. The Canuck battled through numerous injuries last season, but is still considered to be a productive player. Bay is confident of his skill: "It's obvious that Caskey sought my bat. I will have a great year coming back."
Although still unknown, Brooklyn looks to be protecting Brian McCann, Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Miguel Cabrera, Jason Bay, and Ichiro Suzuki. Bay's right handed bat balances the lineup. THe penciled in lineup sets up with Ichiro in center, Utley batting second and playing second, Miggie batting third and playing third, Howard cleaning up, Bay protecting Howard. McCann's patience and contact will be a tough out following Bay, then Tulo will bat in the seventh or eigth position pending the right fielder. The Moabs boasted the top offense a season ago, so the lineup seems to be idle. There must be an upgrade in the starting rotation. There have been rumors that several trade discussions were concerned with the starting rotation.
