I voted for Klinker. I'm really torn on Dorn. I think he can and will add some real value in a platoon role somewhere, but his skill set is not exactly hard to come by. So he may outproduce a number of guys, but I'm not sure if he's more valuable than them. With our OF depth, if he's not taken in Rule V, I think he's trade bait.

I do wonder though if he might take the Nelson Cruz career path, spending a few years beating up AAA pitching but never getting more than extended cups of coffee until he finds the right organization. Though I suppose he actually needs to beat up on AAA pitching first...

Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
