[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1423682, member: 588522"] His defense is up (in fact statistically, he was an above average LF, and another in fact, he was second in the league in dWAR). He could be an everyday LF if he can learn to hit against lefties (he wasn't given much of an honest chance with only 76 ABs, but his OPS was 200 pts lower vs lefties). Also, his first full year back from a knee injury. Sure he misplays balls, but he's got a cannon, which for a LF is basically all you need to be considered a good fielder. It's actually his batting holding him back. He'll get this year to prove his worth, basically because his value is too high to trade for a reliever, we have no room for another SP, and there isn't anyone pushing for his spot. [/QUOTE]
