Throw everyone on a red list and start picking names as to who should stay and who should go? We know last year it was starting pitching. This year it was the bullpen. So fix the bullpen. We don't have a long relief or a closer anymore. Jerry Manuel did what he could by switching the pitchers. And Omar is developing from within. Who the hell knew Dan Murphy at the beginning of the season? Look at him now. Omar is sneaky, he just puts the "great" players out to the public like F-Mart but the man is a genius.

One more thing, look at Dejesus’ situational numbers:

RISP: 419 BA
RISP 2 Out: 380 BA
Bases Loaded: 556
Runners on: 359
Man on 3rd 2 Out: 480 BA

Hudson:

RISP: 333 BA
RISP 2 Out: 325 BA
Runners on: 299
Man on 3rd 2 Out: 400 BA

Those are amazing numbers, both of these guys would be huge additions to our lineup.

Whether that be Burnett, CC, or Tex, he'll get a lot done. If it were me, I'd trade for Dejesus and Greinke. I could see why we'd be reluctant to get Greinke because of his issues, but Dejesus would fit in perfect. We could probably swing a Church/Evans deal for Dejesus. Then, sign Orlando Hudson to play 2B. Trade for Saltalamacchia from TEX, he's expendable and they're looking to move him because they have Laird as well. Have Fmart and Murphy fight for the other Corner OF spot in Spring Training. If we don't sign Burnett, get Greinke, or CC, then pick up Derek Lowe or Garland for the 3rd spot in the rotation. Santana Pelfrey Lowe/Garland/Greinke/Burnett Maine Niese Reyes Dejesus Wright Beltran Delgado/Tex Hudson Murphy/Fmart Salty Krod Cruz Seanez Smith Parnell Beimel Stokes The lineup around our core would be scrappy and consistent unlike this years team. I think we really need to focus on our SP/RP and become a team much like the Angels. Win games 2-1, 3-2, etc. with a strong rotation and back end of the bullpen. This lineup has a nice mix of speed and power, and adding guys like Dejesus and Hudson would make this a very tough lineup.

Name a center fielder with better numbers who is a better defender. What we do need are a couple of good corner outfielders who can do some damage at the plate. I totally disagree.

Greinke? Now, I really like Greinke, but the kid has had some serious emotional issues. His first stretch of bad starts will leave a kid with serious social anxiety issues in front on 50,000 boo-birds. I don't like the prospects of that. I really like the kid, but he's not NY material.
