I expect Moore in left field will give us what Morse in left field gave us last year, maybe a little better. But that's not saying much as Morse was only slightly above replacement level with his weakened bat and horrendous defense. If Morse is healthy (big if) and at first he will easily make up his for his weak glove with his strong bat. I can live with that, especially if Skole or someone comes up to become the bench option that 2012 Moore was.
Maybe I'm overestimating him but I expect Harper to hit at least 30 homeruns next year and I wouldn't be surprised if he's knocking on the door for 40. I'm predicting a sophomore season comparable to Giancarlo Stanton's, maybe a little better due to his better contact and batting eye. That alone will be a huge boost to the offense.
I'll be fine going in house for the offense. I would not be satisfied going in house for our #5 starter... I like Garcia but I want to keep him in the pen. It shouldn't be hard to get at least one of the myriad solid arms on the market this offseason and I will be crying out with the LAC crowd if they stand pat there.
