MLB Teams' Big Weaknesses That Still Must Be Addressed This Winter

As general managers around baseball wake up on New Year's Day, they'd like to believe that they do so with a strong roster, one without any major holes or weaknesses.

Nobody actually believes that, of course, for it's simply not true.

Let's take a look.
