Encarnacion, Lawrie, Reyes, Franciso in the IF with Valencia and likely Goins.
Lind at DH
Navarro at C with Thole as the backup.

So really unless you can find an improvement on Rasmussen to be an everyday guy it will be tough to fit up much for upgrades on the offence.

Leaving a starting pitcher or relief help as other options.
Presumably they go with a 7-man bullpen when things settle out.
