I think that doesnt make us a .500 team so I have to ask why we're signing guys to starter money and two and three year deals, when we have multiple young guys who need reps at the MLB level
OK, so Gomes would only take time from Ruiz / Adams / Barrera, so no there. Garcia I think has earned an everyday commitment, but this team does not have a lot of other guys who are must play everyday prospect / post-prospect. You can still say trot Kieboom and Robles out there everyday until there's no hint of pulse, but that still leaves LF and SS as pretty vacant for prospects not to be blocked, at least until mid-year. Thomas is nice, but are you projecting him as more than an short term starter / 4th OF? Yadi has a bat, maybe. Did not show much power with it. DH / part time OF. Old. Really, would a 2 year commitment to a LF block anything? I'd love a Harrison as a backup to whichever 3B/2B falls flat on his butt, and that mix still leaves us needing a SS.
