Id think Alcantara on his way out (trade)Surely Castillo or another player is involved. Perhaps this also makes Valbuena expendable and they make Alcantara a super-sub?
To add a guy like Fowler, you are going to have to give up some ML talent. The bench takes a hit with the loss of Valbuena but the starting lineup gets a significant boost. Fowler had a OBP over .120 higher than Alcantara
He is also a switch hitter
Welp...Valbuena was part of the trade, so maybe they really are going to give AA a shot at the super sub position. AA has a lot more pop in his bat than LaStella, doesn't he?Id think Alcantara on his way out (trade)
Unless they dump LaStella, no need to have 2 players that are basically the same on bench. .switch hitting utility type
Valbuena has to stick, he the best LH hitter off bench they have and a veteran presence. .
Saw that after I posted... id hope they stick with AA over LaStella..Welp...Valbuena was part of the trade, so maybe they really are going to give AA a shot at the super sub position. AA has a lot more pop in his bat than LaStella, doesn't he?
