As of now, it looks like we're settling for a Reed Johnson/Fuk platoon. Reed is a competent fielder, and Fuk is a good <i>Right</i> fielder, but neither of them are gonna be kicking ass with the glove in CF.
As for hitting, if Reed regresses even slightly (and age 32 is a typical age for just that), and Fuk continues to hit like a pitcher, we're going to have a fucking black hole in the lineup.
Is Edmonds coming back? Where?
Honestly, if it were up to me, this would be the season I finally give Pie 500 at bats, and see if he can figure it out. At least with him you have automatic: excellent fielding, great speed.
You also have a MUCH higher ceiling than either Reed or Fuk. (or the abominable Gathright).
PIE FOR CF !!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Reed's a give 110% player that understands what he is. I expect him to be the same type of player for a couple more years at least. It's not like he's ever had blazing speed or great power.
And giving Pie 500 at bats is an awful idea. We're trying to win.
