A Pie JJ platoon would work despite both being lefty because JJ would actually be a starter 90% of the time and Pie could come in as a defensive switch and move JJ to a corner spot late in the game. <BR/><BR/>But what I would rather see is the Cubs going out to get a CF (choices ranging from cheap-band-aid-while-we-wait-for-Pie Lofton to guys like Andruw Jones and Hunter) and have JJ and DeRo platoon in RF. <BR/><BR/>I feel you are being contradictory if your not ok with DeRo being the everyday RF but ok with him being the everyday 2B over The Riot, assuming in this scenario that the Cubs do get Tejada.<BR/><BR/>The beauty of DeRo is being able to move him around and that is where he will be most useful and productive, as he was this past season. He'll share time in RF and 2B and spell Rammy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-31388180548381568202007-10-21T09:36:00.000-05:002007-10-21T09:36:00.000-05:00No way Pie and JJ -- two left handers -- would pla...No way Pie and JJ -- two left handers -- would platoon. And DeRosa doesn't hit enough to be an everyday right fielder. If Pie finally shows up, it's possible Lou could platoon DeRosa and JJ, but I want DeRosa in every day over Theriot.<BR/><BR/>I'd be OK with the Tejada deal for the price you suggested, but I doub the Orioles would be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37440895.post-19364245179661898072007-10-19T22:32:00.000-05:002007-10-19T22:32:00.000-05:00HR totals dropping every year- RBI's dropping, too...HR totals dropping every year- RBI's dropping, too- no speed for stealing- maybe not the kind of guy you want to invest big bucks on.
