Moe,
Your post about Haniger was helpful in showing how much of a risk Jerry DiPoto is taking with the outfield. We all have hopes that Haniger and Gamel will step in right away and provide at least 100 OPS+, with one of them perhaps reaching toward 110. But we've had a TON of young outfielders step onto the Safeco stage and disappoint, sometimes leaving gaping holes.
Is DiPoto gambling? Big time with the outfield. I'm wondering if he has kept some powder dry for an in-season trade if neither of these guys steps up as hoped. Toss the dice in April and May, but if they don't show enough we can add a veteran stop-gap. Dunno, I just wonder.
