I like the JJones comp. I was thinking it in my head as well, and someone beat me too it. That would be a great left fielder... Especially at 8 overall on the prospect rankings.

Well now it looks like a sore elbow. MRI maybe TJ surgery. Prospect time, what a waste of money.

Santana was pulled from AA, so was Kennys Vargas. They didn't play at all in AAA. I would also say that they where not necesarily hitting the snot out of the ball either..

He is a fourth outfielder that brings defense and speed off the bench. It would be a plesent surprise if he did breakout, but there is no way he hits 50 HR like Brady Anderson did lol. It is going to be fun to watch how this OF develops and turns out for next years team.

I would like to grab Rasmus on a one year deal, but I think someone over pays and goes for more years. 2 @ 9M a year + option. I wouldn't make that investment, which what we have coming up.

But only one of those things has to happen for the problem to occur. If it was my money I would throw money at someone like Morgan that can be cut when/if anyone gets called up. Then spend the money on pitching or save it for a couple years when this team may actually be competative and get someone that will actually help this team win. Not a stop-gap. But that is just my opinion, and I am an optomist. So that might cloud my judgement.

I think we stick with what we have. Rosario may make the roster out of spring training, but if not will probably make the jump half way through the year. We also have Buxton, who if he shows health and playing well may be up mid seaons and most likely September. Same with Sano who will then force Plouffe to the outfield or somewhere else. We then have a huge log-jam and end up having to keep someone off the major league team. We all know that this team is still rebuilding. Lets work with the prospects and save the money for another year or get a starter this year. I think we roll with Hicks, he is the best defensive outfielder on the team presently and he may still end up better then Buxton as far as defense is converned. I stil think Hicks ends up as our 4th OF when everything is said and done, but who knows.
