If Cedric can no longer hit, stick him CF. Maybe an overreaction but I just dont like what ive seen from Cedric this year and he's borderline unplayable vs a lefty.
You would have missed the first one because he was thrown out at second. The second hit was a chop over the 1B man's head. He did hit some balls hard which is a good sign.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be someone with options or even any remaining years of control. Someone to pitch in the 7th/8th and maybe the 9th every once in a while. We’ve got good relief pitchers but they all (like most RP) have a penchant for forgetting how to do their job for stretches. It’s good to have back ups for your back ups. And to be honest, and even contradict myself…when Wells comes back, he’ll make a great reliever. So the answer could already be in the organization. I just don’t see guys like Coulombe, Webb, Akin and even Cano pitching lights out over a whole season. And if anything, my concerns over the bullpen being the weak spot on the club is more of a testament to how good this team really is.
