This season is over. Time to have our fire sale. Package Gordon and Broxton for a guy who can start in next year's rotation. Deal Frenchy and Collins for a project pitcher. Put Wil Meyers in Left, platoon right with Mitch Meier, Bourgeois, Dyson, whatever until Bubba is ready to go in 2014. Then in 2014 your outfield is Meyers, Cain and Bubba.
Must buy at least one starter in FA. Then your 2013 rotation would be (in no particular firing order): Hoch, Chen, Gordon/Broxton Trade, FA, Mendoza. When one of these guys goes down/blows up/sucks replace later in the year with Paulino, or Duffy, or Soria, or Odor-Eater. If that don't work, claim 2013 is a "building year" and repeat the desperate search for starters for 2014. Deal Hosmer if you have to at that point.
Just a thought.
This year being toast is true, though.
