But he already plays in a cool-Spring, ginormous park that kills HRs - and has done just fine there, unlike some dude named Beltre did here.
He's been properly prepped for the Safe, and we need some good RH hitters in the lineup somewhere - Smoak can't do it all from that side of the plate.
David's been nicked up, and if you think he's about to fall off a cliff, then definitely walk away.  But we're gonna need Plans B, C and D in case whatever our Plan A is falls through.
Do we find out what injury-prone local boy Grady Sizemore can do in CF for us?  Try to pry Justin Upton away from a division-winner no longer in the rebuilding proces?  Take all the worst years of Aramis Ramirez if he hits the market? 
For me, if Fielder signs with the Cubs then I want to know what our trade options are.  If Jack then announced, "We just traded Taijuan Walker, Francisco Martinez, Kyle Seager and Dan Cortes for David Wright" I wouldn't call him an idiot.
Sometimes you don't get to take Plan A. :) 
Maybe we do nothing (or nothing major) to the lineup and let it ride with all the kids we're playing now.  I don't think that's what we'll do, and that makes me wonder where we might go to keep improving our offensive issue.
