&lt;p&gt;A frustrating week of baseball...&amp;nbsp; We could have easily gone 5-1.&amp;nbsp; No need to rehash the two extra inning losses and Friday's debacle.&amp;nbsp; No need to discuss today's pasting; yikes 15-0!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What does Omar have to do first?&amp;nbsp; Clearly we need help in several areas; I think first and foremost we need a power bat in the lineup to play either 1B or one of the corner OF positons.&amp;nbsp; Seems like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/players/418/Adam_Dunn&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Adam Dunn&lt;/a&gt; would be the best bet as he can play 1B until Delgado comes back, then go to LF or RF.&amp;nbsp; I'd like to know what the platoon of Tatis and Murphy are hitting since Delgado went down.&amp;nbsp; The power numbers we know for sure are not there.&amp;nbsp; What would we have to give up for Dunn?&amp;nbsp; Who else could we realistically go after to fill this need?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Absent Omar making any moves, I'd like to see Murphy play 1B&amp;nbsp;everyday, and leave Tatis on the bench.&amp;nbsp; Tatis was a nice story last year -- this year not so much.&amp;nbsp; Seems like Murphy needs to play everyday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regarding the outfield, I don't know...&amp;nbsp; Sheffield looks tired and can't play everyday, and&amp;nbsp;I don't think Church is the answer longterm.&amp;nbsp; That leaves&amp;nbsp;F-Mart, who clearly should play everyday if he's going&amp;nbsp;stay in the bigs, otherwise he should go back to AAA.&amp;nbsp; Not a lot of great options...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts?&lt;/p&gt;
