So maybe the question should be not is Trumbo better than Markakis, but why did we sign Alvarez when we had both Davis and Trumbo? Having three IB-DH types meant one had to be out of position. Or, would Markakis have been better than Pedro?

Because Fowler backed out.

Somebody had to play RF. And Trumbo with Pedro DHing was a better option than Rickard or D. Alvarez with Trumbo DHing.

Nick will have two more years essentially like this one, because that's who he is.

Well said, I wish we had Nicky, especially in 2015.

That's not a knock on MT, he's been a godsend.
