I'm with ya. I like Markakis and think he can be a decent asset and be worth his contract, but any extra money at this point is valuable. I like the direction the front office decided to go in getting on base guys, but you still need power in the middle of the lineup to drive these guys in once they reach base. That's what the team is lacking. Maybin and Markakis at the top of the lineup with Freeman and a couple power bats behind him would be perfect.

Agreed. And actually, Justin Upton in LF and Uribe at 3B would pretty much be what we need in the short term IMO. Ideally you'd want a 20 HR guy at 3B behind a 25-30 HR guy like Upton in LF, but Uribe's 15 HR power and solid defense would be a solid stopgap.
I think we just need to get 3 guys with around 20 HR pop between 1B, 3B, LF, and RF (or C I suppose, but highly rare to get) given we are pretty much set with speed and/or defense guys at CF, 2B, and SS for the next 6-7 years. If we could do that and keep Markakis that would be fine, but it's just so much easier to get that level of pop in LF and RF.
