Looks like coco is on his way out the door. So why not try rocco as the fourth outfeilder. He would be a cheap fan favorite. Like the quote states though, we would have to watch out for his health.

I'd love it if he can stay healthy.

If his body allows him to play 2 or 3 times a week it could be a good match. The problem comes if an outfielder is out for an extended period of time, the team would have to bring in another outfielder due to the fact Rocco can't play everyday. Plus Rocco is a good hitter against lefties.

I'd love it, but only if we had a decent 5th outfielder lined up as well(Kaplah??)

Rocco would be great in Pawtucket.
