He's exactly like Felix Pie, only not as fast, and nowhere near as good of a fielder. Plus he's much older than Felix. His OPS+ last year, in over 100 games, was 59. That is not a misprint. (think Neifi with considerably less power-one HR in 5 years- and a much worse glove).
So, now we have both Felix Pie AND a guy who plays the same position, with the exact same skill set, only with much less skill!
Fuck yeah, Jim!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
We'll be trading Felix, and the only value Felix serves for our team at this point is speed, something Gathright can do. So we keep that speed, and we add a player or two to our system by trading Pie. Pie can be used as a part to a Brian Roberts trade for example too. It's smart general managing.
