If they do land Jansen, I think all this SP talk is easy.
Ditch Ozuna+Ramos for the best longterm SP they can get (surely something pretty damn good), and then sign two 1B/LF types and have a bizarre 1B and LF platoon between Bour, Dietrich, those two guys, and Ichiro. Use last remaining sums to get a second bullpen lefty better than Cervanka. Maybe even bring back Dunn!
Rotation is Chen, Conley, Volquez, Koehler, "Ozuna+Ramos" - not amazing, but a very KC/Balt/Pitt rotation of respectability
Bullpen is well above average with Kenley, Phelps, Barraclough, Wittgren, McGowan, Locke, Loogy, with Ellington, Cervanka, Urena, Nicolino, Brice, etc. for depth
And the offense won't be any worse with a healthy Stanton and Gordon.
Screw these free agent starters. Trade Ozuna + Ramos for one.
