That's the point I was making near the end of my post, Doc. If you'r a slower 1B/DH type, you better be a 25+ homer guy or a .300 guy, or you seem to be discounted. I like G's point about new teams seeing the assets you bring, not the deficits you have.
Hadn't thought about the NL/AL thing. I wonder how often AL teams just tell a 24-26 year old, "You're a DH. Go out there and hit, don't worry about the glove." So if AL teams have those tweener-type hitters, Morse's and LaHair's, do they simply get shuttled aside?
Worth considering.
BTW, Good thing that Jaso can't really catch.....Imagine how more perfect Felix's game would have been with Olivo behind the plate. (And I missed the game interviewing City Manager candidates. Dang!)
