As for Eric Hinske, I really don't see how he'd fit on our team. I don't think he can really play 3rd anymore. He's started 9 games there in the last 3 seasons. Bradley and Fukudome can play RF, Alf's going to be in LF everyday, and Lee will be at 1b everyday. Also, Hinske absolutely cannot hit left-handed pitching at all.
He'd be a nice weapon off the bench against righties that starts <i>maybe</i> once a week. I'm not the biggest Hollywood Hoffpauir believer, but I think he'd do pretty much the same thing Hinske would for us and at a much cheaper price. Our money would be better spent on something else.
Edit: Well the Pirates are close to signing him apparently. I would like to keep him off their team. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif[/img]
