Knights 2013 offseason

Well the season can't start soon enough.  After a semi successful season last year the Knights find themselves in a tough offseason.  With only 5 real keepers.  Sizemore and Rodriguez non impact players our goal is to some how acquire enough talent and hold onto draft picks.  Not an easy task but we are surely going to try.  The Knights have been in the playoffs 9 of 11 years and we want to be the first team to hit double digit appearances.  Having been in finals 4 times and 2 champonships.  The core team is very solid.  Not usual for the Knights to have top talent but they do right now.  Cutch the centerpiece and Hamels their ace.  One of the best 1B in Edwin with a NT contract.  Montero a solid C and Hanarhan the new closer for the Sox will surely get 40 saves if healthy.  With that said the Knights need bodies before the draft.  We need solid guys on expiring contracts. So far lots of handshake deals. It is rumored the Knights have acquired a SP and a power 1B to fill the DH slots.  It is also assumed the Knights no longer have a 1st rounder.  It was on their managements agend going into meetings to move back. We still plan on making moves when the meetings officially open up but could not wait.  Plenty of moves are still left to be made. The Knights would like to move Sizemore for almost nothing but have a feeling will be stuck with him.  One of the worst contracts in Knights history will be glad when its gone.  Those interested in either selling a player or wanting to trade draft picks or want a player I have feel free to contact me.  Hamels will cost a lot if you are interested.  Cutch probably to expensive.  I can not move Edwin.  Montero or Hanarhan can be had if price right but in no need to move them. More to come in the next few weeks.
