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-->
And giving Pie 500 at bats is an awful idea.

Worse than giving Fuk 400?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
