Is there a upper level left fielder left available  to sign?  Curious who you might have considered as still possible.

The $4mil man is Brett Gardner as the 38yo speedy, defensive plus, with league average offense. 

The $15mil man is Michael Conforto as the 29yo defensively challenged corner bat coming off his worst MLB season.

I prefer Gardner. He would be a perfect fit for this roster with a temporary vacancy in LF and a need for a backup CF.

Plus, would leave further pitching acquisitions on the table via trade later this season.

Looks like a 70-ish win team to me. Can't see this pitching staff holding up. 

 

Hope I'm wrong.

 

I hope also.  I honestly see 85 wins.  I guess we shall see who's prediction is correct in about 6 months my friend.

The lack of the bats of Cruz and Garver will hurt more than any one will want to admit.

It will be a return to the seventies, 80 wins plus or minus a couple.
