You wanted Rios? You wanted Byrd? You wanted Willingham?
Fine, but with them...you'd also still have Jones playing center field.
Condemning Jackson because he's not more like Mike Trout is absolutely applying the wrong metric. Look at the distance between him and Almonte/Jones. In the middle of a playoff race. And for next year (at least) as well. Would Price have created the same gap over Elias? I don't know...maybe. But only one day out of five.
As someone pointed out in the other thread, We now have a 2B and a catcher and a CF and a 3B locked and loaded. Behind our pitching staff.
It's impossible not to see this as a huge win for Z. Hate him for past transgressions. Today he did his job admirably.
