MLB fans, what does your team need to be good next year?

[Catbuster]

So, unless you're a New York, Texas, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Saint Louis, Milwaukee, Arizona or Philadelphia fan, your season is over. What does your team need to go all the way next year?

Boston needs...

*One or two good starting pitchers- Cliff Lee?
*A right fielder- Josh Reddick did well, but Darnell McDonald was better defensively, though he didn't hit as well. That's good with the people in Boston...
*A third baseman-unless Youk can prove he'll stay playing more and hit better. Lowrie did well here, as well, and the decision to play Mike Aviles there was horrible.
*A better backup DH- Lavarnway didn't work. Saltalmacchia had big power numbers this year, after not playing a ton of games, so I could see three catchers on this 2012 team.

So, really, not a ton of money needs to be spent, but Tito needs to get his head screwed on straight.

Philly's still in it. I'll let ya know

The team I follow is never any good lately, so I just look forward to who will get all the good players from my team in trades.

The Padres need...... a lot of help. Or a miracle. Whichever comes first.

As a Cubs fan, I have a long list of things that need to be fixed. The fundamentals are the biggest thing, which comes from better coaching/managing. I see a whole new look in terms of the latter next year. If not, it'll be another year of terrible defense and woeful pitching.

Seeing that they're stuck with some lousy contracts and underperforming vets, the best we can hope is that the kids are good. But they don't know whether or not they are because the kids weren't truly given a chance to show what they have.

Aramis will be gone as it looks like he's testing the free agent market. Pena (1B) only had a one year contract, although they will owe him $5 mil next year due to his contract terms. Solidifying the corners is going to be huge, especially with a young, talented, but shaky middle, defensively speaking.

And though I'm a Cubs fan, I can't help but root for the Brewers against the D-Backs. There, I said it.

Where are you going to get Cliff Lee?

[Time Monkey]

Mariners should have kept cliff lee, but with felix hernandez and pineda, why waste the money?

Oh wait. Nintendo owns us and they are cheap bastards.

Pitching and defense, is OK i think...

We need some bats. And someone to bat cleanup other than smoak.

Cardinals made a miracle comeback, so we'll see how far that goes.

The Red Sox need a heart and testicle transplant. And for God's sake, get rid of Lackey and Dice-K, both sorry-ass excuses for pitchers.
