I'll take Gerardo Parra...
...as a benchie or in a platoon.
Our bench is heavily slanted toward lefty-killers. If we needed a pinch hit against a rightly...we don't have one. What would Servais do in that situation with the current roster? Imagine it.
If you imagined how he limits PR damage during the post-game loss Q&A sesh...I think you'd be hitting close to the mark.
It sounds like, though, Parra is angling at an everyday starter's role which...yeah, I'd pass and move on to a De Aza or somesuch to fill that role.
Parra's no.1 with a bullet for me for the role. Beyond that role, though, I start to get leery.
