And if the Ms had a plan to add Zobrist AND get another bat (an OF, or say Morneau at 1B) then I would be thrilled to have Ben on my team. I love that guy / hate it when he plays us.
We also have Kivlehan and Choi who both play first. In fact, tell me which of these dudes is the Deej:
Player A: .300 /.366 /.491 /.857, .35 eye
Player B: .313/.370/.578/.948, .40 eye
The slugging gives it away as Player B, but Kivlehan isn't a slouch and he's still climbing. Might only be Mitch Moreland, but stranger things have happened than a guy like that finding success.
And Choi is Choi - another shot at corner-Choo without a horrible LHP split. But his suspension makes him essentially worthless to other teams, "forcing" us to keep him. If only Choo had gotten himself suspended all those years ago. ;-)
*shrugs* The Rangers had three 1B a couple years ago, one pedigreed and a couple other good ones. They traded two of em, and then had to get another first bagger. As long as we get a couple good players this offseason I don't really care if DJ is here or not. We need to compete while Felix can still pitch like this. Watching Verlander this year should give anyone pause when it comes to counting on a monster pitcher to stay that way. Also, poor Santana. And CC. And...and... and.
Strike while Felix is stil the undisputed King and Cano is in his prime. Just make sure you get back the right weapons, and aren't bringing a knife to a gunfight at the OK Corral with the Angels and As.
