hmm... I don't know that this moves the needle much. I don't view Span as an upgrade over Heredia but probably a better option than Gamel. It really will depend on how they decide to use him.
Any help in the pen is nice.
Yeah i agree with you. This wasn't how I was thinking the extra cash would be spent. I am curious how they are wanting to use Span. I hope they aren't taking AB's from Heredia because he has been playing really well.Not sure how I feel about this yet.
It could be a good move for the team considering that Dee Gordon is going to play 2B until Robinson Cano comes back and we need a competent outfielder, but I'm unsure that Span will perform any better than Heredia or Gamel.
Colome gives us a decent bullpen arm, but they are a dime a dozen.
It's kind of a wash because we really didn't give up much to acquire them.
On the other hand, I'm somewhat disappointed that we used the money we're saving from Cano being suspended on Span. I don't think he will make much of a difference.
Supposedly the Rays are sending $$, I haven't seen anything specific yetThing that frustrates me is I assume we're taking on his contract and I don't believe he's an upgrade over Heredia or Gamel. I was hoping we'd use the money more prudently.
I think Gamel will be the one losing playing time which is fine by meYeah i agree with you. This wasn't how I was thinking the extra cash would be spent. I am curious how they are wanting to use Span. I hope they aren't taking AB's from Heredia because he has been playing really well.
Yeah I was hoping the same.Thing that frustrates me is I assume we're taking on his contract and I don't believe he's an upgrade over Heredia or Gamel. I was hoping we'd use the money more prudently.
I would assume that will be the case. Heredia is playing very well. Gamel hasn't done much to impress this season.I think Gamel will be the one losing playing time which is fine by me
