  1. I still think Drew should be the swing man and let Refsy or better yet, Pirela play 2nd and be another swing man.
    Thus, one has two players that can fill in wherever they are needed. I think Pirela would hit better than Drew and is a RH bat...play the guy if he can do the job!

    1. I think we all do but for $5 million I can't see it happening.

    2. I guess I've seen worse rosters. I definitely think I would change a couple of things. Honestly, I would either try to trade Ryan or release him. Replace him with Pirela. But we do have a left and right handed power option on the bench. Plus, with the health of Arod, Teix, Beltran, and Headley, there should be plenty of opportunities for younger guys to make a contribution.

    3. Garrett Jones ability to hit 20 home runs in limited play really helps the bench. Last season we had no fire power that could come off the bench and hit a three run home run, 2013 either.
