First move would be to fire the entire coaching staff, save Chris Spier. Dusty, Dick, Larry, Sarge, all of them. All gone. Trade Macias and Neifi to anyone interested. If no one is interested. Release them. Trade Burnitz, If no one is interested, then keep him for the rest of the year , then do not resign him. Make my everyday lineup: Hairston RF Walker 2B Lee 1B Aram 3B Murton LF Barrett C Patterson CF Cedeno SS When september 1st rolls around in a couple days, take hairston out of right, play some of our young OF talent there. Every day. And play the kids every chance I get. After the season ends. Try my darndest to get Dunn from Cinci. If that fails, Try to get Manny from Boston (with them taking some of his salary, if possible). If that fails, look elsewhere for a big power, good OBP guy. Resign Nomar for as cheap as possible. If he is too expensive, let 'em go. Resign Walker at all cost. See who is interested in Cpatt, if no one is, hang on to him. KEEP WOOD. Get a bullpen. Go sign one or two solid middle releif guys. Or, BJ RYAN. Sign one starting pitcher. I think Burnett is available? Thats my not so masterful plan.
