Don't see what he provides over Lane Adams.. I think they're basically the same player, but Adams has at least a bit of upside
I saw he was released yesterday by the cubs and was thinking he’d be a good pickup. Not sure where his defense is at now but it wasn’t too long ago that it was top tier.
Lane Adams to Gwinnett then, right?
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
I dunno seems to make sense to me. He’s a pure CF and when Acuna comes up it allows him to stay at one spot.
My guess is that this and the Flaherty signing pave the way to cutting Adams and Santana loose.
With Colon, Schimpf, Peterson, Acuna (and potentially Riley), all as higher upside plays already at Gwinnett, maybe one of them (Santana or Adams) is kept instead of Xavier Avery.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Nice defensive upgrade from Adams, at little to no cost offensively.

It's not a bad idea to sub Bourjos for Nick late in games with the lead.

I never thought it made sense to stack the bench with defensive specialists...maybe one guy who can play short...the defensive guys should mainly be in AAA to be called up when injuries strike...i'd rather have some solid bats on the major league bench...i guess Tucker will be our main lefty pinch hitter when Acuna comes up

Not enough to merit spelling Inciarte regularly, given his three-year average is weighed down by an abysmal 2015 against LHP (he was quite good in 2016, and solid last year). But a smart comparison nonetheless—makes the acquisition appear much more sensible in the post-Acuña near-future.
