The first step should be to get to 80 wins using some sort of combination of the younger players already on the team, a veteran or three who can actually teach those younger players how to get through the season (ala Carlos Pena on the Rays) and some low-priced but quality FAs who can fill the gaps.
80 wins should be the goal, especially in a mostly horrible division. The Brewers are going to go down, the Cards and the Astros will be about .500 or so and the Cubs are likely going to fall back a bit. (**DISCLAIMER** this is just as of right now)
80 wins should be attainable this year. Don't even worry about the playoffs unless you land CC and another big righty bat (Texiera) or someone like that and the Reds won't even be in the bidding for those two.
