		<description>If one of the Mariners prospects flunked the physical does that nix the trade?  Wonder how hard it would be to plug in a different player instead.

		<description>Dave spoke to that somewhat yesterday on &lt;a href=&quot;http://mynorthwest.com/?nid=422&amp;sid=257426&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Brock and Salk.&lt;/a&gt;

As set up currently, the team would be counting on breakout years from some combination of Saunders/Tui/Carp.  Signing one or two veterans to one year deals would provide flexibility in 2010 while not blocking the kids in the future.</description>

		<description>so what next? Seems like the rotation is set. Next up another RP and some more offensive/defensive might? I&#039;m curious to know where they go from here. I would assume it needs to be a 1st or 2nd baseman.</description>

		<description>Unlikely.  That just goes against conventional wisdom, an 11 man bull-pen.  But just maybe we&#039;ll go with 5 in the pen. ;-)</description>

		<description>So now that we have 2 studs capable of going deep into every game they pitch (3 if you count RRS minus the &quot;stud&quot; part), is there any chance we go with an 11 man bullpen?</description>
