We might need to find a cheap closer who can get the job done. I'm not sure if wagner, soriano, and gonzalez will be in our price range.

In regards to Adreian Gonzalez, I am all for it. He is a beast who is cheap. Yes we would have to pay him in two seasons, but he is a very nice guy from what I read in SI. He would give us a legit power bat at 1B, allowing for the OFs to be more speed and average guys (with the possibility of another power guy to form a 1-2 punch with Adreian).
