Traded Dave Marshall OF for Danny Cater to get more depth at 3rd base. I will platoon him and Wayne Garrett.

With Koosman back, our Big Three rotation is set again for 1971, with Gary Gentry and Ray Sadecki holding the 4 and 5 spots. Should either faulter, Doyle Alexander, Jim Barr, Tony Cloninger and maybe Jim Bouton of Ball Four and knuckleball fame are there to take up the slack. In the meantime, Doyle and Tony will be in the bullpen, along with Tug, Taylor and Frisella. The others will be in AAA unless needed in NY.

We are going to need a CF after this season as Agee will only really be a backup after that. Not sure how to make that happen. Singleton and Staub and Jones are all natural LF, RFers. Cleon, with good range, may have to be the default CF in 1972-3, but we have time before then, and for now it's Cleon, Agee and Staub in the OF, with a good bench of Singleton, Shamsky and Swoboda, though only Swoboda has any CF ratings.
