So many questions heading into the offseason

[SD happy]

It feels like it’s been years since we had so many unknowns going into the offseason. Here are some of my questions. 
1. How is the FO going to fix the bullpen?

2. Are they really going to trade Lopez and/or Ryan? If they do, it better be a slam dunk, overwhelming return.

3. What the heck are they going to do with all of the LH outfielders? Larnach, Wallner, Outman, Kiersey, Roden, ERod and Jenkins. Will one or both, Larnach/Wallner be gone next year?

4  Who will be our starting first baseman?

5. Who will be our two catchers?

If nothing else, this offseason should be an entertaining one. I’m hoping for positive entertainment, but I’m concerned that it could be a frustrating one.

As far as OF's go, Roden, Outman and Keirsey can all be released. Maybe bring them back on a minor league desk but they in no way should take up s 40 man roster spot. One of Larnach or Wallner are probably gone too, the one we keep being a DH only. Martin has shown he can be a good LF or 4rth outfielder depending on how fast Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzalez and/or Fedko establish themselves. I'd much rather see these guys along with Culpeper and Eels than one year stop gap veterans who are only major league players on a team like the Twins. Let the kids play and see what they can do. Our pitching is where any money needs to be used....

Easy decision.  Release Outman and Kiersey.
