If they don't re-sign Hill than signing Mc Donald and Bloomquist was dumb because if they have to start both of those guys, this offense will suck.

Btw, the money they just paid for Bloomquist and McDonald could of gone for a better infielder. This reminds me of the Mora and Blum signings last year.

This past season showed that depth is an important part of any contending team. We had no shot at the NL West without contributions from several players.

The lsit of infield FAs this year (outside Pujols and Fielder of course but we don't need a 1st baseman) is nothing to write home about either

That is why it is so important now for them to re-sign Hill.

agreed. We need to sign Hill.

This. We've basically signed a defensive replacement for Drew and a utility guy. We need to get our everyday 2B on the roster now.

No argument there.

Unless that 2B is our 3B now and they want to get a left handed hitting middle-of-the-order hitter for 3B.

Neither Young's 20 HR, Roberts 19 nor Miggy's 18 during the regular season is middle-of-the-order protection for Upton.
