Started to kind of go into this in the minor league thread but just curious as to how people would feel overall on if this FO does somewhat of a similar approach this coming season that they had this past year as far as gauging their internal talent but still being a competitive ball team (which we would have been without the injuries to the rotation). At this point I'm starting to think I'd love one addition to the lineup most likely in RF and then maybe a bullpen arm and then to let things organically work themselves out. Let some internal options duke out LF whether it be Ahmed, Kwan/OGon and if that fails plug in fully healthy Naylor or Palacios and then at 2B let the guys who ended the season sort out and if that doesn't seem to be working plug in someone like Palacios, Freeman, Arias (I really don't like Arias at 2B long term, I'm hoping left of the infield or possibly OF long term). I guess if no major trades happen we will see Palacios, Arias, Jones next year and a chance we could see Rocchio, Freeman, Valera, and if protected one of Kwan and OGon. Would this approach disappoint you? If so how much and could you elaborate on it?
I think we should get some type of proven MLB bat to help out JRam and company, but letting guys compete for the other OF spot I have never been against personally, but I feel like in 22, I want to step up and get a team that can give the Whitee Soxs a run for their money and just only using unknowns makes that a bit harder. We have a ton of unproven guys with upside so I want to give them a chance as well. It's hard to figure out which way to go...
