Matt Den Decker is 28 years old with some definite skills....but he wasn't a Major Leaguer for MOST of the past two seasons (on a team that SUCKED for outfielders) because he's not yet shown he should be.... see Wilmer Flores....See Dilson Herrera.,...See Ceasar Puello....Kevein PLawecki.,...Matt Reynolds......... and MOST of the "14 starting pitchers" that someone counted up last week. eraffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493607580550078769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-54314751626933369082014-10-19T16:32:22.347-04:002014-10-19T16:32:22.347-04:00He'd need deforestation more than a shave.

The only thought is would Riddick have and plus value over Kirk as OF No. 5? I think that’s almost a push. Of course signing a Cuddyer/Rios/Markakis changes the pecking order. (Dealing Grandy, signing one of those 3 & waiting for Nimmo would be my preference)<br /><br />Mack—<br /><br />DeGrom WAS a sleeper in 2014. I think most are wide-awake now. My sleeper candidate for 2015 is Matt Bowman. <br />Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583242267777911354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-25178417801957481262014-10-19T09:53:23.003-04:002014-10-19T09:53:23.003-04:00Yikes, not Ike.

We know last year was a struggle.<br /><br />But I look for trends. In 36 games after the All Star break, he was .286/.394/.464. I HAVE to go with him over EY Jr. Cheaper and considerably more upside.<br /><br />C'mon, Cesar, have a great fall/winter stint and be our #5 OF next year.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-53636221608700938482014-10-19T09:41:21.706-04:002014-10-19T09:41:21.706-04:00When I wrote on Saturday about names not yet discu...When I wrote on Saturday about names not yet discussed as trade acquisitions I had dismissed Reddick due to his left handedness and his one and done flash-in-the-pan results. In fact, the parallel I drew was Ike Davis. The results are eerily similar.

Sure, he's proven it longer on the major league level and possibly has a bit more pop, but a .319 on base and 1 steal is less than what den Dekker will provide. Too bad he is a lefty, and I do not know enough about Reddick otherwise to be more definitive.<br /><br />This goes back to why I wish they'd have recalled Dekker 3 or 4 weeks sooner. A longer "audition period" would have proved greater clarity about projecting Matt, who was .330 with .430 on base (approx) in Sept.<br /><br />Super sub Eric Campbell, who I super-supported in early 2014, need to show he is not Josh Satin, who had a solid 2013 and stunk in 2014. Eric's late season fade concerns me. If he does not have a good spring, the slope could be slippery. Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
