I don't want a one year rental.
I suppose there is another way to look at this. All talk about Ellsbury is predicated on losing LaRoche. If we sign LaRoche then all talk of a centerfielder will cease, and that's what I hope will happen.
But if we lose LaRoche, Morse moves over to first and we have to fill left field, which Rizzo will want to do by moving Harper there and acquiring a centerfielder. But Rizzo might feel that our long term solution to centerfield can be filled from within (e.g. Goodwin), but not in 2013. So he might be interested in a one year rental. In that case, as long as the price we pay reflects the value - a one year rental - then I suppose it makes sense. That means: we don't give up much, certainly not a front line player. Maybe a middle prospect. No more than that.
