Just this year - and the Expansion Draft that closes it out - to get through before we really start making our '79 push, although with that said we really have a good chunk of the guys we want already in place and, for the most part, under contract.
Rick Miller will walk at the end of this season, freeing up another CC slot. Woody Woodward has been handy for us and, in the absence of someone better who is also eligible, we'll keep him on as long as we can or even swap him out for with a younger version of himself that offers the same service. Fluctuating positional ratings make this a tough one to nail down, so we'll need to be cautious not to be caught out with an overly long contract for a guy that suddenly stops playing one or more positions.
If our top choice for Catcher is unable to be procured then we plan to use one of the CC slots on getting a quality guy at that position.
Plenty of cash at our disposal and looking good in general, financially speaking. We've also signed Bernie Carbo, Bob Moose and Ed Kirkpatrick to minor league deals.
