I think Hawksworth can hack it as a #5. But someone has to step up as a #4. The biggest problem right now is that we still have guaranteed outs at the bottom of the order.
I wouldn't mind seeing us sign Garrett Atkins to see if he can give us anything at third to spell Freese. We need another corner infielder. He's been horrible the last two years, but we seem to have luck with talented reclamation projects, and we have absolutely no pop outside of Joles, Holliday, Ludwick, and Rasmus.
As far as second basemen go, it would be nice to see us make a run at Dan Uggla. I don't think Florida is going to be able to keep him, and even though he's a mediocre defensive 2B, he has a tremendous bat, and would be an excellent addition in the #2 hole, even if he is due for some regression in his BABIP.
