Would you rather have Gomes flailing at strike 3 breaking balls against right handed pitchers all year? Or would you rather see Fransisco trying to chase down fly balls in left field?
We need someone who can hit right handed pitching and play decent defense in left field. Need Lewis or Pods as a 5th outfielder to play that role. I'll happily take a .350 OBP with speed in that role.
Let's face it guys Walt will not be able to get anyone better than guys like Lewis and Hermida with the salary handcuffs he has been placed in.
Pods wife is hotter, Lewis is a better baseball player.
Aren't Hermida and Heisey better options than Lewis?
I agree, and the proverbial "back of baseball card" statistics tell me that Lewis is NOT an upgrade over Jonny Gomes. I am glad Walt is our GM. If left to the collective braintrust of the SD, we would be bankrupt and terrible (see Baltimore Orioles of the last 20 years).
What if this is as good as it gets?
