Absolutely.  If possible, sign a premier SS.  Along with Schmitt, the left side of the IF would be set for the long term. 

The #1 goal this off season has to be finding guys who can play every day v. both right and left handed pitchers. IMO, of the nine players in the lineup, a minimum of six should be non-platoon guys. 

DH - platoon 
1 or 2 OF - platoon
All others - every day guys.

Agree across the board. No bigger Crawford fan, but the SS in FA are in their prime and will provide 5-7 years. Trea Turner is unlikely.  But he’s my choice.  So dynamic offensively.  Although not a great defensive SS. He has played second.  So, perhaps he slides over for a year.  Estrada becomes Super Utility. Unfortunately if not resigned by Dodgers he supposedly wants to go East.

“Facing Nolan”. Documentary on Netflix.  Worth a watch.  Never anyone like him. And probably never will be.
