For DH? Bautista in the Tribe outfield would be a step in the wrong direction.If the Jays trade an OF, smart money is on Jose Bautista.
If the Tribe deals with the Blue Jays, I could see Chris Colabello being involved. Obviously not the centerpiece, but would be a nice addition.
I would rather find the next Chris Colabello (borderline AAAA guy who needs a desperate team to give him a chance in a strict platoon). Thing is this is why they have Jerry Sands a shot, along with guys like Shelley Duncan. Got to go through several of these types to find the Colabellos and Blakes.Hard pass.
Much like Randal Grichuk, Colabello is staring at a major regression next year. His BABIP was .411. Plus he's an absolutely atrocious defensive player, which would likely limit him to DH-ing in Cleveland.
Not to mention his "breakout" came at age 32.
Just, no.
Scott Van Slyke.Yasiel Puig....
Scott Van Slyke.
Yasiel Puig....
I'm merely steering who I want from the Dodgers. They might try with Puig for all I know. Great talent but a 10 cent head. Maybe he is the next Albert Belle, maybe he is Wily Mo Pena. He scares me if it costs a Salazar or more.I mean, wasn't it rumored the Indians were interested in Puig at the deadline? Makes sense.
Could double attendance if we get him. Might even fill up part of those railroad cars out in the upper deck a couple games a year.
And I'm midway through my snarky post and I realize that he probably would actually increase attendance and thus I think it has a chance of happening.
