We need to at least tender the 14 mil. for one year to Beltran. If he takes it not a big deal for one year and offers a better mentor in right for Taveras if they do indeed decide to try him in CF next year. If he declines, we get a pick for losing him after the qualifying offer.
I think Rosenthal and Martinez both will push for a starter position. Motte even if he is healthy will take time to groom back into the late innings so I think one of the two fireballers are likely to stay at the back end. Decent problem to have.
Our biggest need is a right handed stick (if not two) that can make us more successful against LH's. Sub 500 ball makes match ups against teams with that as a strength a real problem. We survived LA because for some reason we had Kershaw's number, but just about every other lefty we couldn't hit if they told us what was coming each pitch.
