July 22, 201015 yr Don't even need to find a starting RF, but at least find someone you can have on the bench and play if Quentin gets injured. In a matter of less than a month, there are now 3 glaring issues with this team (Peavy spot, bullpen, RF)
July 22, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 12:35 AM) Don't even need to find a starting RF, but at least find someone you can have on the bench and play if Quentin gets injured. In a matter of less than a month, there are now 3 glaring issues with this team (Peavy spot, bullpen, RF) I think issue number 1 isn't any of those, its the DH debacle. Starting pitching slot (Peavy) is second, ONLY if Hudson gets traded. If he stays, then I'm not concerned. Bullpen help, well, I guess that's third. But I personally think its not nearly as big an issue as its being made out to be. Putz and Thornton close for now, Jenks goes to earlier innings and I'm betting eventually gets his head out of his ass and starts throwing again instead of pitching. I'm also getting to like Threets a bit, and Sale may come up sooner than later. RF defense isn't even something that concerns me. Quentin is pretty bad out there, but overall team defense is quite good, and CQ DH's some of the time anyway. If I'm KW, I focus everything on getting a decent bat for DH (someone who can play the field too is a nice bonus, but not a necessity). The other stuff I try to get marginal help where I can find it.
