These options are tantalizing, fellas. Thanks!
In all seriousness, if it looks like Pollock is going to return (5 games in at A+: .462 2 HR 4 RBI 1 SB), I may just roll with Pence in RF and Pollock in CF w/ Pillar when he returns. But if the right deal comes along, I certainly wouldn't be opposed to looking at something to return some power to the lineup.
Some pieces that could be discussed:
Daniel Murphy: Tough not to be excited about his 2016 campaign. He's got a top 10 fwar and #2 among second basemen. He's at 22 HR 86 RBI and a .350 average.
Mauricio Dubon: Breakout 2016 over two levels as a SS with a bat, speed, solid D and plate discipline.
Jordan Patterson: Doing what he continues to do now at AAA: Average/OBP/Speed power from a 1B/COF
Kennys Vargas: Will end 2016 with 25-30 HR over AAA/MLB and hitting better in MLB than he did in AAA. The Twins will soon release him and the Sox will turn him into a Hall of Fame DH.
Mark Appel: I mean, yeah...
Greg Allen: Leadoff CF having a breakout 2016 that's finally getting him some pub. Great speed, good contact rate, switch hitter. The reason the Indians dealt Clint Frazier (maybe)
