[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1503678, member: 588522"] My hope is they dont waste heywards glove by putting him in center. Likewise, hoping they also don't hand the opposing team an out every 9 batters by keeping almora for more than defensive work. Sadly, if theyre out there looking for a center fielder, they have essentially no options for a major upgrade. Gardner is probably your best bet, but giving him more than a year or two is not a good choice. Bring back Castellanos and forming a Schwarber, Heyward, Castellanos outfield scares me, but honestly might be our best bet if you dont take into account the kind of coin Castellanos is going to command. Trading Contreras scares me, but his value probably won't be higher than it is now. His defense and framing make him difficult to root for as a catcher, but he's arguably the best offense catcher in the game right now. The question ultimately comes down to do the Cubs believe Caratini can be an everyday guy and if Amaya is the future behind the plate. If so, Contreras is expendable, for the right price (quality CF please). [/QUOTE]
