I want one big(ger) bat.
I think we can do some damage with a lineup of:
Ichiro
Ackley
Smoak
120 OPS+ or better BAT
Olivo
Kennedy
Guti
Peguero/Wilson tandem
Ryan/L-Rod tandem
Enough damage to squeak out some wins with this pitching staff, anyway.  But we NEED that extra bat.  It doesn't work with just Cust there, IMO, and I bench Figgins as well.  Saunders should be in the minors.
Wilson and Peguero can DH too, so I'd be looking at that LF/DH position for a thumper.  If Cust picks it up we can send Peguero and Wilson back to the minors and play the new guy in LF.  If he keeps drowning as an RBI man then they can stay and Cust can go.
We'll see - Draft is in 2 weeks, as is Ackley's theoretical call up. Draft Rendon and Figgins is out of a job anyway, and it's just a matter of when and how to ditch him.  And Ackley frees up Kennedy to take Chone's place in the meantime.
