For the Braves, I would not fold the tent.  I’d consider signing recently released Johnny Estrada for a second stint since Brian McCann is out for a while.  I’m just not comfortable with going with Clint Sammons and Corky Miller as my backstops.

For the Cardinals, I’d try to find a steady reliever who may have the makeup to close since Issy and Frankin aren’t exactly getting it done.  George Sherrill has been rumored to be available.

For the Mets, I have to find a reliable corner outfielder.  I don’t want a free swinger like Adam Dunn, but I could use some pop, such as Raúl Ibañez.  I also want a veteran utilityman to back up 2B and 3B to spell David Wright and as insurance for oft-injured Luis Castillo.  Is someone like Marco Scutaro available?

For the Cubs and Rays, I would acquire a veteran to come off the bench as a pinch-hitter, someone like Matt Stairs.

For the Yankees, since money is no object, I’d look for an everyday catcher to replace Jorge Posada.  Maybe we contact the Nationals about Paul LoDuca (who would probably be happy to be back in NYC).

For the White Sox, if Beltre is available, I make a play for him because my 3B situation is relatively unreliable.  I want to go into the post-season with something more reliable.

For the Rangers, I could get in the “Tex” sweepstakes and reacquire him, but a cheaper option could bringing in a 3B and moving Blalock to 1B.

For the Marlins, I try to acquire a veteran CF to solidify my up-the-middle defense.

Of course, if I get even one of these right, I should be offered a GM position.
