Mark Kotsay

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Mark Kotsay in Oakland when Macha was there? Might he be a solid one or two year guy in teh OF if the Brewers trade Hart or Cameron?

 

I know he has battled some injuries over the past couple of years, but he would seem to be a decent vet left handed hitter.

He'd probably be pretty cheap, but I don't think he'd fit in well with the Brewers. Aside from the fact that Macha was fired in Oakland partly because of his use of Kielty and the two never got along (we did a lot of hand-wringing over what Jason Kendall thought when there was a lot more venom between Macha and Kielty), he just hasn't been very good for quite a while.

 

He's got very little pop in the bat and seems to have forgotten how to take a walk. His numbers against RHP are a bit better, but I think you could find better options for the lefty half of a platoon with Gabe Kapler. He's certainly not a full-time player anymore, IMO.
