It is possible that Ruggiano/Lomo = RF...or that Cruz does.  I'm not dead positive we have to sign a RF with our next get.
And what we need from Ruggiano is 12+ homers.  8 of them vs. lefies.  250 AB's or so.  Unless he goes all Casper Wells (I read Spec's thread) on us, he'll get every vL start and another 15-20 in CF (Miller will get 5-10 of those).  
That's 60 starts, give or take.  A dozen balls into the bullpen and he's a benchie darling and we will love him and a new group of fans will call themselves the Rug Rats.
If he can OPS .720 vR, like he did last year, Ackley may well go away.
He hits it very hard.  His BABIP vs. RIGHTIES in '12 was .425 or so.  E-gads!  It was .360 last year.  E-gads-lite.  Those are Mike Trout-ish!  (.411-.377-.351 from '12-'14)  OK..it was from smaller samples...but there are a lot of smoking hot shots coming off his bat.
He's nice.  He helps.  He was free.  We need another guy......unless it's Kivlehan/Deej at 1B!
