I'd go all out to sign Hunter to play CF, move Griffey to RF, Freel to 2B and Phillips to SS. Better OF defense will lead to improved pitching on a flyball staff with Milton, Harang and Arroyo. He adds more speed and a some power as well. There really isn't a pitcher worth the cash. I'd keep Lohse and Ramirez and wait for Bailey.

I'd also keep Aurilia to platoon with Hat, give a breather to the rest of the IF and OF (with Freel moving to OF when an OF'er needs a rest). Nine guys for 8 spots provides some depth and keeps guys fresh. Griffey and Freel both need more rest than they get right now.
