I dont view players through the lens of what position they play.
I would say our number 1 need is a good middle of the order bat (hits 2,3, or 4 in your lineup). I care not where he plays. Wouldnt even care if hes an outfielder and we have to trade or even play somebody in a weird position.

So now you have 2 quality table setters (Duran, RA) - maybe Duran gets traded. Im okay with it at this point becasue you have RA and the 2 acquisitions above You have Story/Abreu who are good hitters for like your 5,6,7, so now the order is starting to come together
After that I would say a pitcher of Gio's caliber or better.
After that I think I would be greedy to ask for that again, so we'll say another solid starter
After that Im going back for another hitter if we can
Then maybe pen depth. Lefty preferred.
