If you figure a Rugi/Smith platoon at something like .800 OPS, where do you get the .800 OPS RF for the cost of two relievers?
That's very hard to do.
Mariner's flexibility in '15 is going to be dependent on keeping Miller/Taylor AND Bloomquist (or C. Rivero). Add your one BA catcher and a RH 1B bat.....Then you are pretty flexible.
You might not have a LH bat on the bench, however...at least against RH starters.
