Why are you paying for Callison's RF-1 when you are going to have to play him in LF as a 3?
Why are you spending $6 million for a leadoff DH? Gary Matthews or Roy Thomas can do the same job for half the price. Johnny Temple is already on your roster, and he's not bad, either.
There are LH LF who hit lefties pretty well, and you get the rating you pay for. Barney McCoskey is a real good leadoff guy, who comes in two sizes. Or, you can grab McCoskey, use Reggie '80 as a DH, and use Callison's rf-1.
Then you can grab a cheap DH, save money in two positions without seriously weakening your team, and spend the excess on upgrading your rotation. You really should spend at least $22-23 million on your pitching staff at $80 million.
