Notes:
This team is starting to go nowhere fast. They have not played above .500 since the first week. I was going to wait until at least June to trade players, but with the Mets losing 2 SPs this week, I am going to offer them Rawley and see if they have interest. Unfortunately, he has pitched poorly this year but maybe a change of scenery will help him. Easler, Bedrosian, Tekulve and Schatzeder will be on the block soon enough.
