the this new kid from Cuba...do we have any reason to expect his hit tool to come around?
If we don't, we have a guy in our system who can play an awesome short and not hit in Sellers.
i literally don't mind having a sorry hitting Stephen Drew type SS....I think id want Ellis to get on base like he did in previous years. But I can't have his poor output last year batting 7th and then a sorry hitting SS 8th and then the pitcher.
i want to flip Joc Pederson for a player that makes us better.
this franchise isn't going to trade any of our outfielders and they can't.
Joc and Zach Lee for Brandon Beachy....i dunno.
just someone that makes us better.
who knows, but i think his defensive abilities make him a perennial gold glove, that even if he bats .220 / .300 / .330 for the rest of his career, it could be worth it.
we can't quite trade outfielders yet in my mind because we have no idea what Kemp is going to be. if he becomes 2011 bison again and proves he can stay healthy,( which i cannot picture ever) andre will be the one to go along with joc. if Kemp shows sign of life but the front office is unsure of his future(which i think is the case and they are trying to sell him high), they will move Kemp and groom joc to be our next CF while andre mans the position until joc can be an everyday player.
or Stan and Co. has something completely different up their sleeves. but doubt they will move anyone from the farm unless there is a clear improvement on its way.
