Here's what I would do...
Dump Dinneen and Walters. Upgrade to another $10M pitcher. Grab a cheapie to pair with Roe for the #4 starter: Speer, Rommel, Frock, Bob Johnson, etc.
Dump Nelson or McDowell. Nelson's hold is terrific, but I like McDowell too. Take your pick. Try to pick up a cheapie to fill out the bullpen; Pina, Shoffner, Dreisewerd, Pattin, Garman, Osinski, etc.
Offensively, you're punchless.
Hold on to Sanguillen and Fox.
Look for some of the following:
1b: Judge, J. Robinson, Luderus
ss: Wagner, Trammell, maybe Bush
3b: Steinfeldt, J. Collins
of: D. Dimaggio, Valentine, Stephenson, Keller, (Speaker, Cuyler and Cobb go without saying, but I doubt they'd be available).
McCosky's no slouch, but he's best suited to LF. Try to find a better arm for CF.
A lineup with Weaver, Heathcote and Peckinpaugh is not going too far, despite what good values they may be. You can keep two of those guys, but not all three. Be sure to keep a 1 at SS.
Good luck.
