I wouldn’t make any move. At all. This team is pretty good…

Ha-ha. Okay, I get it. Yeah, that is the move to make, if job security isn’t an issue.

craig,

““What one move would you make right now if you were Smith?”

“Trade Mike Lamb plus a mid-level prospect (plus cash?) to the Royals for Mark Grudzielanek who leads the AL in hitting vs LHP’s.”

If I were Bill Smith, that is the trade I would make right now. (just like the question was asked)
The owners might fire me tomorrow, so the REAL Bill Smith might not make that trade.
But hell, I would be spending the owners imaginary money, so I am going for it!
I have enough imaginary money to buy out Lamb and make the deal, before I file for unemployment benefits tomorrow!

There is a remote possibility that Monroe and/or Livan, could be claimed by a team, before they pass through waivers. This could save the team lots of money. Otherwise, if no one claims them, the Twins are on the hook for the remainder of their contracts.

Designated for assignment, and subsequently released, is the only possible way Mike Lamb could leave the Twins. Because he is signed through 2009, he isn’t going anywhere this season.
