Would have preferred Victor Cruzado :-).

I love it

Good. A useful piece if needed short term.

Tom -

Who's next?

Muno?

The lazy front office strikes again! I'm not condemning the move by any means, but reassembling what didn't work in the past doesn't seem like a formula for winning. Taking a flyer on someone who might have potential to advance would probably have been a better bet, but it's good to have a slick glove in the outfield if Juan Lagares gets hurt or traded.

I now have in the Las Vegas outfield:


Kevin Kaczmarski
Kevin Taylor
LJ Mazzilli
Jayce Boyd
Patrick Biondi
Zach Borenstein
Matt den Dekker

Maybe they can use a "beer league" softball set up with four or five outfielders all at one time? (kidding)

Makes you wonder if there are plans to move Lagares or Nimmo in a deal? I view MDD as insurance, or depth if need be.

Tom Brennan said...

Mike, I agree - making den Dekker your 5th outfielder is not what playoff-hopeful teams do for any length of time.

Hobie, the Cruz Missile is signing to play in Iran this summer :)

Didn't you hear? Sandy Alderson already declared, "Mission accomplished!"
