Because Kim is not a defensive player and his career as an Oriole lasts another four months. At most. 

Is Mancini a defender? 

I am not worried about 2018.

Superior is a bit strong. I am happy considering his lack of experience.

Good routes, strong arm. Nice tracking for a new outfielder.

Disagree with his routes. Looks choppy to me.

Also, Mancini adds power as a dimension to his game and that appears to be something appreciated by the fraanchise. Also his price. And the ability to option him. Superior.

I was comparing him to the statuesque Mr. Kim.

I like Trey. This club has a ton of power and can't get on base.  

I believe he is a starting corner OF next year. I am not worried about 2018 right now.

I like Kim. There are superior talents on the team.

If so you are committed to Mancini full time the rest of the year with a fallback option of Bourn.

I think if Gentry fails to hit, that Bourn replaces him.

Gentry isn't going to hit on this team, if Mancini is here when does he start? Rickard has to he sent down for that. 

[eddie83]

Does anyone know if/when Bourn has an opt out?

Bourn still has an Opt Out.  So a decision will need to be made on by June 15, I think.

Rickard/Bourn can supplant Gentry/Kim
