Thanks Imref. Great topic and research. And here are my thoughts on the off-season so that we can be a contender for the playtoffs.. We need a LF, 1B (full time) a true #3 SP ( and not one that is overpaid like we have now) and re-sign Suzuki . Say good bye to MAT, FA's Thames , Holt , Harrison , Doo , Howie ,Freeman and Cabrerra with a special thanks to Howie. Doo and Cabrerra for their significant contributions for our WS run. Stevenson can be our 4th OF. Is Hernandez for real? I'd give him a shot as the 5th OF.. If the DH becomes a staple in the NL I would have Zimm return in that capacity if he wants to. Perhaps Howie in that role.
I like the BP but we need a true closer who wants to be that person. Perhaps Rainey will emerge in that role. What to do with Kieboom ? I see him , at best, like Dabney Swanson as a highly touted prospect who needed to be sent down after his debut for Atlanta. Let him get it together at AAA if there is such a thing next year.
