Not next week.  Today.
I dunno how Jack plans to compete but I know how I do, and as I've said all along that's by signing the best and youngest bat on the market so that we don't have to trade the farm (or worse, play the farm) to patch together an acceptable O.
It lets us keep playing a bunch of talented kids around him and prepping the staff for dominance. Ackley + Fielder + Smoak + Carp is a decent wheel to turn this offense around, especially once Franklin gets here to hit #2.
Make it happen, Jack.  Before I was grudgingly expecting Kubel + Francis + a pen arm as our offseason expenditures, now I'll be pissed if that's what really happens.  We have 5 years left of Smoak, 6 of Ackley and Carp, probably 7 of Franklin...
We HAVE our good pre-Arb bats.  Go get me a monster to fill out the lineup.
You know you want to...
