Our OF defense is fine in that Heyward and Ankiel both have near CF range.

Neither one of them should be playing center, but the tandem of them will get it done. As for the salaries, neither one of them is back next year unless we want them. Ankiel has a mutual option and Farnsworth has a team option.

And Gonzalez played the night and the next day after going to the hospital with gastritis. He's all man.

I do regret dealing Tim Collins, though. Of course, in our situation, any pitcher we included in the deal right now would hurt. We've got Teheran, Delgado, Vizcaino, Minor, Beachy, Dunn and Kimbrel all coveted by other teams.

Responses:

Every scouting report says that Ankiel needs to stay at a corner OF. In half a season though, that's probably not very damaging. - musubi Aug 2, 09:11 7
- If you mean for LF/CF, that's true but again, the CF does less work with Heyward and his 4.4 speed in RF. - David Aug 2, 09:16 6
  - Don't be silly, even when he was sucking for ATL, Yunel was *still* better than Frenchy. WAAAY better. - musubi Aug 2, 09:22 5
    - It's like picking your favorite disease. Average OBP with no slugging or terrible OBP with some slugging. - David Aug 2, 09:24 4
      - Frenchy's slugging .370, that's not even "some" slugging. That's Luis Castillo level "power". - musubi Aug 2, 09:38 3
        
        I don't think we're disagreeing inasmuch as comparing war wounds but... - David Aug 2, 09:41 2
