True, but you don't need to get more power out of your middle infield. Brett Boone all jacked up on roids isn't walking through that door.

We need to have corner infielders who can hit for power.

Well, Lee's going nowhere nor is Ramirez. There could be a stopgap until Ramirez gets back, but that's it. There's not an upgrade to be had in the OF at all and it's not happening behind the plate. The only feasible spots for upgrades is at 2B and SS. If there's no one to get there, there's no one to get. The SP is fine, the BP is fine (obviously an upgrade could happen here, but it's not all that necessary), the OF, C, and the corner IF won't be touched. In an ideal world, I'd love to see a true SS acquired, that's a top of the order guy, and see Theriot and Fontenot split time at 2B.

I've agreed with Ruby more this afternoon than in the past 3 years combined.
