I like this trade as it now gives us a CF that can platoon with Pillar and also play LF when Saunders is back to provide him time off as well.

Based on AA's comments at the presser right now it looks like they view Revere as a 4th OF once Saunders is back. The fact that they're not going to misuse him and they value him for exactly what he is makes this deal so much better than I thought it would have been. Strongly approve.

Hitting a lot of singles does not make you a good hitter though

 

being a .300 hitter with the ability to steal a base at will makes you a good hitter. not everything is about power.

If he comes back. I have a feeling they may just non-tender him now that they have Revere, Pillar, Danny V showing he can do an OK job out there, Pompey waiting in the wings. Maybe he gets a shot in September but I'd imagine they'll go with the hot hands since they have big games in September. They could non-tender him and offer him a deal for less but he might be a dead man walking.

I still think Saunders is their #1 guy with Revere being a guy that can come in late, steal a base, play D, play 3-4 games a week and keep Saunders, Pillar and Bautista fresh.

Could be possible. I see that more likely occurring next year unless Saunders has great numbers in rehab, they activate him, and he comes up swinging. He could be non tendered and resigned for a lower amount and brought back next year. I think it comes down to the state of his knee injury and if it's still effecting him or not. We'll see how things play out but I see them going with the hottest hands, and whomever is playing the best at the time. If it's Saunders than it's an additional bonus since it's like getting another player out of nowhere since he's been down so long.

two nothing prospects alright whatever

 

is revere projected to be a huge upgrade to pompey? what is the point of this move?

 

More proven. For all we know Pompey could come up and hit under .200. It wasn't the most necessary of moves but the price was low so why not, at worst you have a cost controlled 4th outfielder for the next 2 years.

So that we have a back up MIF while Travis is hurt and Goins is starting, that should be beyond obvious.

 

But the dude is also HILARIOUS. I'm liking this WS calibre team chemistry amirite?

Pretty much. He could give you some nice offense, be the 4th OF or if all else fails you non-tender him or trade him and get back something even if it's just replacing the two minor leaguers.

Stealing bases has nothing to do with hitting

I think he's available this year or next but I'd like to find a way to get Biddle from the Phils. I think he has potential.

Saunders is expendable .. looking for AA to ship him out.

You have to be on the bases to be able to steal one.

 

Right. Hitting has to do with stealing bases, but stealing bases has nothing to do with hitting.

Thats nice. We're still talking about a players ability to hit a baseball, not how fast he can run on the basepaths. Ben Revere is a solid all around player and below average hitter.
