Just looking over who is a free agent this winter and David DeJesus is on the list.
I like the guy for any outfield spot and he hits fairly well.
We currently have
Robinson, who can play CF ... IF the speedy Hamilton can't cut it. I have my doubts.
That leaves Ludwick (one wonders), X-Paul and Heisey. Honestly, I'd rather have DeJesus than any of these guys.
As a free agent with some upside, DeJesus would not be cheap, but cheaper than Choo would be. His numbers may be too pedestrian for some of you. And he is 33.
If Hamilton can play, we still have the same mess in LF and I'd hate to think that the best we have is Xavier Paul. He's done all right and I like him off the bench or in a spot start.
Robinson is on the big club only because Ludwick is out. I rarely get into the "let's trade for this guy" conversation but it's clear the Reds need to sooner or later address the outfield issue. Just having "players" is Dusty-like.
