    Would have preferred Victor Cruzado :-).

    Good. A useful piece if needed short term.

    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.

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

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