Well my goals are to better improve my team. I think I've already done that with my recent trades. I needed a better SP that was a lefty so I quickly went to Texas to get Mark Mulder. So far the fans have welcomed him and actually he has a Meet & Greet Session scheduled tomorrow. Also, we here in Arizona needed a better second baseman then Orlando Hudson and a better 1st baseman offensive-wise. So I made a 6 player deal with Baltimore and quickly got me 2B Brian Roberts and 1B Jay Gibbons. Any more questions?

To the Twins, I think our best pitcher on our roster is no dount Mark Mulder. He's got the speed, velocity, and overall knowledge. I find him to be a much younger Greg Maddux with speed. As for fielders, I believe our best would have to be Luis Gonzalez. He will always hit around .300 with 20-30 homeruns and a great contributer to the game.
To the Dodgers, I traded away Hudson because of his overall ranking and his offensive stats. I don't believe he will contribute much other than defensively. Brian Roberts, formerly of the Orioles will be a nice addition and much better 2B overall then Orlando Hudson.
I believe the D-Backs will make the NL Wildcard because we still have to beat out some really great NL West teams.
Any other questions to anyone?

GMWell when I was dealing with the Jays, the only way i could get a great offer was to get ridda Tracy. I think Hillenbrand has done a fine job and will continue to do so. Any other questions guys?
