Steps to take:
1. try to upgrade at SS. It has been a crazy year at SS, but I don't see Z keeping ths up. Plus Bartlett will be back soon and he may lose AB. A lot of good SS are presently available as they have struggled (Tulo, Hardy, Furcal). See if you can buy low. Consider using one of your 2 stud 2B to get them.
2. Add a closer. You have good SP depth and a good closer woulf be a nice fit. Again use the 2B depth and/or OF depth and/or Sp depth to get a closer. Look for Aardsma, Downs, as they are guys who are not well known but are gettign the job done.
3. Start Ethier!!!

Lyons has some good advice here. I'd try to move Zobrist while his name value is sky high. Lee is shaky at 1B/3B. You also need at least one or two more closers. It's time to package Zobrist and maybe Brain Roberts or Eithier to improve at SS and CL first, then maybe 1B/3B.

Help here?
