1. Fire Towers and Gibson
It's been LONG overdue for a change of leadership and I think the Towers-Gibson era comes to an end as soon as the season concludes.
2. Sign a high profile starter
With names like Lester, Shields, Scherzer and Kenta Maeda (the ace of the Hiroshima Carp -- in line to be the darling of the posting crowd come November) available I think we need to throw money at them and overpay to land one of these four. I'd rather overpay an ace than spend stupidly on guys like Ross, McCarthy and others like we have in recent years.
There's also a solid second tier of FA starters that could fit in nicely to our rotation: Ervin Santana, Jorge De La Rosa, and Francisco Liriano.
3. Get rid of Reed and go with the youngsters in the pen. Our bullpen depth is really, really solid in the minors and we have some talented arms ready to contribute next year. Do what the A's have done to build their solid bullpen.
4. Trade one of Didi/Ahmed for another young reliever. Cuz you can never have enough talented, young relievers. And we need to get rid of one of those two because I'm sold on Owings at short.
5. Get healthy... Goldy, Owings and Pollock on offense and Corbin, Arroyo and Hernandez in our pitching staff. We need them all.
6. Let Bradley develop and DONT GIVE UP ON HIM AFTER A COUPLE STARTS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
BYE.
