I think we need to go after Jay Bruce, contract isnt bad and he would help the offense. He would be a major upgrade over Avi in RF. The problem is many teams are after him. We were rumored to be after him at the beginning of the year, I wonder what the team would be like if we have him there over Avi all year.Then the offense would be set after that.
Do we need a starter? That is TBD, need to see if Shields, Gonzales keep it up and Rodon can come back decent. With improved offense with Bruce we could get into the playoffs and make some noise. We essentially have 2 number 1's pitching for us and lately the offense has been coming around.
We have averaged 4.94 runs over the last 6 series of 18 games. Up from 4.74 the rest of the year. Not a huge increase but better none the less. The previous 18 games was 4 rpg so way up from that. We are getting a whole run more per game lately.
The other option is count on morneau and get a SP or a reliever.
