Ryno, I'm really curious why you aren't participating in this thread. I'm truly not trying to bash on you.
You are, with exception to GrandDad, the most negative person to post about the Luhnow regime. What would you do in the off season to "show the fans you are serious"?
Personally, I buy the best bullpen money can buy and maybe gamble on another low cost/ high ceiling type guy... Like mchugh.
Maybe try to get a stop gap 3b - but a low K guy to provide some help for Altuve.
I don't spend this year on big FA bat or SP. I wait for next year and go all in.
Of course, they also need to hire a manager. I say give it to Bogar.
There isn't any "experienced" manager out there that gets me excited.

Id like to see us get stopgap 3B that makes contact consistently and can move runners around. Don't need someone else who strikes out all the time. That and some bullpen help would be great.
A vet who can eat innings in the rotation and a veteran OF who can play all three spots would be nice but I don't see them as necessities and I'm not sure there's anyone who makes sense
3B: Headley would be great but don't see us spending that kind of money. It's also no guarantee he wants to come here also. He probably wants to go to a contender. There honestly aren't any guys here who interest me much unless we want to take a flier on someone like Callaspo, which might not be bad.
Bullpen just needs to be completely revamped. No use in breaking the bank on it IMO but they need to get at least two guys who can be reliable in the 8th and 9th. From looking at the FA list on traderumors there are a ton of familiar names so there's no excuse for the bullpen to be terrible again
There's a few OFs who could probably help us in LF, like Willingham or Morse, and fill in at DH or 1B but that's probably asking a lot for us as far as spending money and I'm not sure if it makes much sense since they probably want those ABs for younger guys
