[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1737656, member: 747321"] In a vacuum I'd agree, but there are opportunity costs involved with this move. 1. Prevents us from signing anyone else to DH. I didn't think they were going to get Schwarber. But they should have gotten Schwarber. 2. Justifies not calling up Gorman to DH. And Gorman would very likely be a better left handed bat than Dickerson, who at this point in his career is a replacement level batter. 3. May require another MLB ready bat like Yepez or Nootbaar to start the season in the minors. I don't get why we've been talking up internal DH options only to sign someone arguably worse than said internal options. Either sign someone you know will make an impact, or wait until the trade deadline to see whether the guys you have are getting it done. [/QUOTE]
