#BautistaBomb!!!!

I prefer:

-Rasmus CF

-Pop bat LF (Melky is s***....Selig help us please)

-Pillar 4th OF

-Gose improving his bat in the minors for when we lose Rasmus in free agency.

 

 

Let's say Bud helps out the Jays and suspends Cabrera for 2014. How about a Gose/Pillar CF/LF platoon with Rasmus Playing LF when Gose starts and CF when Pillar starts.

 

It won't happen, but I would use the money saved on Cabrera towards 2b and/or C. Lawrie finding his offensive mojo would be huge and one of the things to watch in what's left of this horrible season.

can Lind not suck this AB???

No.

[ElNik2013]

I'm in favour of improving the team defensively. Especially in Center. However we can't expect Pillar to make a signifacnt impact. He doesn't provide much power either.

 

 

It's an idea to save money in lf/cf to spend it in 2b/C where the team has no near-mlb-ready players. It's a big if of course as Cabrera has a 2 year contract.

 

 

Edit: Also, Cabrera doesn't have power either, not to mention speed and defense.

Those socks. Glorious.

[fatcowxlive]

Nice play in Right!

I wouldn't mind that option either. I just don't think Alex will look to upgrade LF unless Melky's contract comes off the books.

 

Gose and Pillar in the 25-roster at same time? - No way. Maybe in september.

Pillar can't draw walks or hit for pop.....Can he play CF?

[o2cui2i]

strike zone breaking down.... ump is getting really bad

[GD]

So the bats are great and the pitching is blowing. Nothing new, I guess.

I said Rasmus in LF when Gose starts and in CF when Pillar starts. The idea would be to use the money saved on Cabrera to help upgrade 2B/C.

 

Cabrera has no pop or speed either and he gets paid like 8M.

[Angrioter]

Chris Archer shutout the Yanks

 

Price + Moore + Hellickson + Archer = 24-1 since june 19th

[GD]

Good effort bats.

 

JJ needs some xFIP regression right about now

Pillar (.270-280/.315/.380 MLB level) isn't an upgrade over Melky.

[ElNik2013]

Pillar can play CF. But shouldn't everyday. LF is his best position but doesn't have the power to profile there everyday.

 

 

 

Again, neither does Cabrera and for around 7M less, I'd be interested in a platoon in LF/CF with Gose/Pillar and even Davis to use that money elsewhere. I also want to see Janssen traded to save 4M there 'cause to pay Janssen and Santos 4M each is just not how I would use my resources.

[ElNik2013]

Pillar (.270-280/.315/.380 MLB level) isn't an upgrade over Melky.

 

 

Are you taking into account $, defense and speed?

[dineke]

Pillar can be the tank commander.
