I feel like I am cramming for an exam back in the day. Up all night studying and drinking vats of coffee and downing No-Doz between sips. :lol:

You have the makings of a really good team here. Some of this is repeating what others have said, but if this were my team, I would;

Look to find a # 1 Starter. Reuss is a great #2 and Niekro and Forsch are good 3-4 guys, but you typically need a righty horse to carry you all the way into the play-offs.

Either find a better quality, more expensive righty reliever than Kern or punt and leave the job in the hands of a .75M guy like Anderson. Kern is ca,ca. Use the extra $$ on a SP.

Try to find a true #4 slugger. Puckett, Parker, and Cooper are all nice hitters in a line-up, but none of them have the requisite SLG/OBP combination IMHO to fill the clean-up spot in your line-up.

Look at other alternatives at DH against righties beyond Ron Jackson. I've rarely seen him have success over an entire season.

Just a few suggestions. Nice Job.

It appears as though Easler is his DH vs. RH's and Zisk will DH vs. LH's...

Nice job Frank.
