my only concern about a low-risk deal w/ him, would be his ability to play CF

In Reply to: i could see signing him to a make good deal maxing at 8 mil for a year. if he wants more years how about 2/12 with some serious incentives.

even when he had his speed earlier in his career, his instincts/routes to the ball and his arm strength were always questioned...and his homepark (CLE) wasn't exactly huge, either. Now that he's slowed down a bit on some bum wheels, I'm not sure if he'd be a fit anywhere other than LF.

Love the idea of a mini-renaissance season w/ his bat, tho. In his prime, he was basically everything that was Offensively awesome about Torres' 2010 season.

    - Isn't he in his late 20s? - juan 2011-10-27 06:26:40 (66 views)
      - He is, yes, but I think the majority of transplant cadaver parts in both his knees are in their 40's or so... - JoeDaddy 2011-10-27 11:20:44 (23 views)

        You're right. Sizemore may need more surgery. - juan 2011-10-27 12:00:14 (42 views)

        I don't believe the Giants have ever mentioned Nate as an answer in CF. - Earl j. Slick 2011-10-27 09:16:27 (35 views)
        
        Then it doesn't appear we have any OF worth keeping for long. - juan 2011-10-29 07:26:14 (17 views)
