If we keep the existing roster, minus the Denorfia types here and there, and add an average to good DH, we could really dominate next season. I'll take my chances with Austin, Dustin and Saunders in the outfield, I really will. I see all sorts of upside compared to last season from that trio. Brad Miller at short, with Taylor providing middle infield backup make the infield strong. With Zunino, we are strong up the middle and the corner defenders are good to good glove quality. Just need a couple decent benchies that will produce at replacement level or above. A DH who isn't a black hole will solve just about everything offensively, assuming Jackson can return to mere average.
I see all sorts of upside following an 87 win season. But please, please, please keep Michael Saunders. The kid is ready to step forward and become something really special, He already is, to my mind. It's just been hidden by the injuries and mishandling. Just check out his clutch stats for the past two seasons. The kid know how to make things happen when the game is on the line. He's a ball player. I just wonder why Lloyd has so much trouble seeing it. It took three scotches to insert him in the lineup for heaven's sake.
