Adams is a bit of a wild hacker with a pretty long swing and no good defensive position. I think he'd be something like Mark Reynolds with less speed. Maybe Carlos Pena with a worse glove?
I think you'd be better served moving Freese over to 1b, Cox to 3b and Craig to RF after Berkman retires. Wong comes in at 2b and Jackson to SS. Then you start drafting bats like crazy in the hopes one of them sticks.
You could save up the FA money to chase someone like Hanley or Upton. I think that long-ass deal that Longoria signed is up in a couple of years. There is always another star on the horizon; they'll figure out a way to get the money spent and they'd be okay.
The real hit would be a PR one.
