I keep AK and the rest can walk. They bring nothing extra to the table that you can't find elsewhere. Others on the 40 man that will be gone or are expendable: Albers, Barnes, Barraclough, Colome, Coulombe, Duffey, Farrell, Gant, Garcia, Law, Minaya, Thorpe, Simmons, and Cave, That's 19 spots. Move on, move up, not sideways.

I appreciate the aggressiveness, but look at how FA RPs fair. You're no better off, statistically speaking, filling the bullpen with $2 - $6 million FA signings than keeping guys like Gant, Stashak and others that have a decent floor and could unlock something. 

You can then reallocate that money you'd have to spend to fill the BP with FA signings that have a higher level of predictability and put a team on the field that is likely to win more ballgames then spending on the BP.
