MLB average on base is .314. M's as a team, even with the 'Edgar surge', are at .303. We have four guys over the MLB average so far--a group which does NOT include Cano.
So I don't really care if we find anyone else who can hit the ball over the fence--we've got that. Just find people who can get on base.
Might we have options?
In AAA, Flores is .387 this year. Marte was .359 this season. Knock .020 off of each of them, and they'd still be improvements. Put a .340 number into the leadoff spot, and life looks much better.
