New acquisition to be announced soon.

I don't understand the disdain for this guy. He has a solid 115 OPS+ and seems to me would be a great platoon partner with Victorino. What's the problem? Obviously we don't know what we gave up yet but he seems like a massive upgrade to me.

The disdain isn't for who he is it is for who he isn't. If we would have traded for Tulo, people would say he costs too much money. If we traded for Puig people would say he has an attitude. If we traded for Bruce they would complain that he is coming from the National League and from a hitters ballpark. If we would have traded for Reddick, then we would have made a trade with Beane and he is smarter than anyone else so we obviously overpaid. So unless we were to trade for the best left fielder in the big leagues, that doesn't cost a ton, and we gave up close to nothing, then there will be people that are less than thrilled.

Ok, then forget about the guys name and look at his overall numbers, or better yet his numbers against right handed pitching. Sorry we didn't give up Iannetta for Harper, should've pulled the trigger when we had the chance.

all we heard about was all this pitching depth we have that we were going to get a cost controlled bat in return or a lead off hitter, if that didn't work out a bat behind pujols that could tear the cover off the ball and then they end up with a platoon in left. Yes, David Murphy's numbers are solid, but I don't see how this can make us contenders for the AL pennant
