Right on, Right on (hey, I remember the 60's), G!
This is Z's team and his "signature" MLB signings have been atrocious.  'Nuff said.
However, this team can improve without trades and $ expended.
Bring up Carp and DH him fulltime, put Ackley in the lineup tomorrow and bat him 2nd, play Kennedy as a near fulltime 3B, keep playing with Peguero and M. Wilson (one will be something decent).....Those are moves that almost certainly will improve the offense.  At (essentially) no cost!
Guti will improve the team becasue he can't be a bad (on a historic level) a Saunders.  I don't expect much from Guti's bat, but even .240-.300-.400 would me a major improvement.
So...If I can improve a team that has a chance to compete with such improvement, at no cost and without losing future talent, then I'm all over that!
If Z moves up Ackley and Carp in the next few days....then he's done exactly the right thing for this team. 
It seems so simple yet he continues to bet on Cust and Wilson and Figgins.
Swapping those guys out is an admission of previous error.  I hope Z will do just that.
