Answer 1

Give up one or two of your OF's/bench and get another star pitcher. Then it is.

Answer 2

This is a very good and balanced team. You have speed, Upton, Rollins, Figgins, Cabrera, Kemp., and Rios. You have contact hitters, Doumit, Hamilton, and Bradley. You have good power, Fielder, Holliday, Hamilton, and Quentin. And your hitting bench isn't bad. You also have pretty good starting pitchers. Most of them are young and good. Your relief pitchers are also pretty good and young. David Price is a risky keeper, but I would keep him for now. Not many changes needed, and it looks like a championship caliber team to me. Your hitting bench seems a little too much though. You already have a good 2B and don't need Polanco. Trade him for something you need. Probably someone to replace Giambi with.
