You know there has been a lot of talk about giving both TdA and Plawecki time at other spots (1B makes a lot of sense) and I'd like to see them do the same with Flores & Wright. Additionally, I DFA Tejada and resign Kelly Johnson. Do you think that would give us enough backup?

At least, I don't think the Wilpons will see it that way. Also, something tells me that despite his monstrous two months, the org doesn't really like him.<br /><br />An interesting thing I've noticed, and it started in the second half last year, is that the FO keeps talking about getting their infielders rest. I'm a big fan of the idea that most guys, over a long hot season, will play better at 130-140 games played than 150-160. Particularly in the post-amphetamine world. I think that having depth and versatility on the IF will let them do that, and I was pleasantly surprised at how flexible Terry was doing just that after Johnson and Urine showed up. I'm a big Flores fan, for instance, and I'd get the kid a 1B glove and have him playing somewhere on the IF 5 days per week. He's not a great SS, but we've seen that he can handle it, and he could become a very valuable guy with a long career as a 500 AB "utility" guy. If they do a decent job mixing it up, I think all of them will benefit.

I would love to see that happen, but I am not optimistic, since there are other signings we need as well, and with Ces, there might be enough payroll flex to do them. (In addition to a CF, we need another starter like Colon and at least one solid reliever for the 8th inning)<br /><br />Consider, if they sign either Parra or Span to platoon with Lagares, we wouldn't get the pop we would get with Cespedes, but we'd get a leadoff hitter (enabling Terry to bat Grandy in the middle of the order) with a similar avg, much higher OBP, more SB's and superior defense. And then we could make a strong run at Carlos Gomez as a FA after the 2016 season, if he comes back in 2016 with the Astros.
