5. Relief Pitching
6. Closer
If then can trade some prospects from a position of strength for Heath Bell and then sign him long term it would set the Blue Jays at closer for the next few years.
So I can see them at least talking to San Diego about trading for Bell.

I guess it depends on Lawire. I think Lawrie gives you very good strength at 3rd or 2nd depending on where he eventually ends up. With Thames playing as well as he is, Batista may not be going back to the field as quickly as we think so I actually think 3rd base is looking pretty strong. I guess Lawrie may not pan out, but I really don't see that happening.
I would add CF to that list as well. Davis doesn't look like a full time CF in my books and while Snider has flashed some good things its a long ways from saying he is legit. Gose is so far away I think that its really hard to proejct.
