HRod could probably serve as a reserve SS, but not sure you'd want him there for an extended stretch. I'd say if they deal Cozart or Didi, they bring in a journeyman and have HRod in L'Ville in case of injury.

I really don't care for Coco Crisp. I realize he would be an upgrade as far as what we had in lead-off this year; but again, career-wise leading off, we're still looking at a .322 OB%.
But could he be our answer as far as a stop-gap goes with Hamilton? Crisp will make $7M in 2013, with a club option for 2014.
Wouldn't Juan Pierre be a cheaper option?
Pierre is a defensive liability in left field, and I think he'd be an even bigger liability in center.
Does this dealing a SS talk possibly mean FO thinks Hamilton can play it? e.g.: Bourn or Span in CF, Hamilton to SS, deal for a LF involving Cozart or Didi?
I don't think so. I think they like either Cozart or Didi long-term at SS. Hamilton will be in CF (or LF if they bring in someone like Bourn).Quote:

I wasn't that interested in Bourn before he got a qualifying offer. Now that he has one, my interest level is at zero.
