I'd gladly trade away the whole batch of rotten eggs for a fresh dozen. The bullpen sucks.

And WTF is Cintron doing on an MLB roster?

The bullpen sucks except for Beimel.  I'd keep Tavarez too for long relief/righty specialist.

Cintron is on the team because the team has inadequately addressed the SS position in the farm system.  They pinned their hopes on Ian "Jeter" Desmond and Esmailyn "Alvarez" Gonzalez.  Desmond never lived up to his potential and has been marred by injuries the last two seasons.  Gonzalez, well we all know what happened there.  Last year, they drafted Espinosa, but he is about all we got as far as depth.  The shortstops we have at Syracuse and Harrisburg (Bynum and Martinez) are not going to be better than Cintron, I can guarantee that.  With Guzman injured, all of our depth is Alberto Gonzalez at SS.  Cintron is on the team, because, quite frankly, he is the best option and that is sad.
