In Search For An Outfielder – Milwaukee Brewers

In Search For An Outfielder – Milwaukee Brewers

So far, we have identified the following outfielders as possible targets for the Mets:

                Atlanta – Reed Johnson

                Arizona – A.J. Pollock

Baltimore – Nolan Reimold

                Boston – Jerry Sands

                Chicago Cubs – Brett Jackson

Chicago White Sox - Dayan Viciedo

Cincinnati – Chris Heisey

                Cleveland – Thomas Neal -

                Colorado – Dexter Fowler

Detroit – none

Kansas City – none

Los Angeles Angels – Mark Trumbo

Los Angeles Dodgers – Alex Castellanos

Miami Marlins – Gorkys Hernandez

Pittsburgh – Jose Tabata

We now move on to the Milwaukee Brewers who need to make some reductions to their eight (8) outfielders on the 40-man:

                Norichika Aoki – lefty –  $1.25/mil 2013, FA-2014 – MLB, 520-AB, .288

                Ryan Braun – righty –  $20mil thru 2017 – LF – MLB, 598-AB, 41/112

                Khris Davis – righty –

                Caleb Gindl – lefty – pre-ARB -

                Carlos Gomez – righty –  2014-FA -

                Corey Hart – righty –  $10.334mil in 2013, FA-2014 – RF – MLB, 562-AB, 30/83

                Josh Prince – righty –  AA: 505-AB, .251

                Logan Schafer – lefty -  pre-ARB – MLB, 23-AB, .319

Braun isn’t going anywhere for years.

Hart will play 2013 as a Brewer and then hit the FA market.

You can rule out the lefties, Aoki, Gindle, and Schafer.

Prince needs another year under his belt, Davis finished the season at the AAA level (.310), and Gomez… well, we’ve done that before.

Mets target:   Khris Davis… 7^th round pick in 2009 out of Cal State Fullerton… leftfielder… good power… career .914 OPS… 2-12: hit .383 at AA, .310 at AAA… ready.
