First off, if all it cost was a top 100 player to get Abreu, I think that deal would already be done.
Secondly, do you really want to go to battle with any of these guys as things sit currently? We need 3 outfielders that we can count on. Looks like we have 2 assuming Frelick continues doing what he's doing. Even he is questionable as we have to have power from someplace in the line up other than Contreras and Chourio. (I guess you can count Hoskins) Who knows what we will get from Yelich, but he shouldn't be in the OF every day either, every OFer we have on the roster plays better D than he does.
So you think we are good with Perkins/Mitchell/Collins/Bauers and Cameron? I don't want any of those guys seeing regular at bats, not one of them. Those guys plugged into our powerless line-up make me throw up in my mouth.....a lot!
I stopped counting on Mitchell, to me, he's just a guy who continuously disappoints. When healthy this season, he was a nothingburger. Now he's hurt, as shocking as that is. We simply can't count on him, period.
Perkins is a mostly defense guy who when given extended periods of playing time, doesn't provide enough offense.
Collins in no way projects as an everyday MLB player. The only reason he has been given an opportunity is because of our endless injuries.
Bauers? C'mon...
Cameron? Geez.
So yes, we desperately need another OF who can hit for some power, as we are 100% lacking in that department due to the fact we don't have a SS or 3B that have an ounce of it (power) Our 1B, which in general should be a power source, just doesn't provide it consistently.
Ugh.
