S here's the question: are you happy going into the season with a CF combo of Johnson (including hitting, is a below average CFer) and Fuk (WAY below avg CFer)?
As you said, we're trying to win, right?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Reed hit over .300 with a .778 OPS and solid defense, that's really not below average. In fact that would place him 12th among all CFers in OPS.
Fuk was really bad in the 2nd half, but his OPS was over .800 for the first 3 months, so you can't just give up on him after a rough stretch.
If we sign a good RF we will be strong at nearly every position. If we have to take a .750 OPS in CF then I don't have any problem with that, but I think it would end up even higher with that platoon.
