Reengineering the Deadline Part II

Last time I took a look at some potential starting pitching arms on the trade market. It was really a two step process. It involved identifying teams that should be sellers and we came up with nine such teams. We are doing the same thing here with the hitters. However, we added a step of finding positions of need. For instance, I’m sure the Washington Nationals would love to dump Nate Lowe or Josh Bell, but since we already have Christian Walker it would make zero sense on our part.

So, we are focusing our needs to second base and the outfield as it pertains to guys that are available.
