This should be a wider discussion …
DFA candidates: Rengifo, Woodford, & possibly Sanchez
Option candidates: Perkins, Gasser
There are multiple candidates to take the place of these players:
Jett Williams or Cooper Pratt for Rengifo
Jeferson Quero for Sanchez
Akil Baddoo, Luis Lara, or Eddys Leonard for Perkins
McGee, Pannone, Stallings, CRod can all give us “mop up duty” in place of Woodford
Fitzpatrick, Yoho, & Zastryzny could also add value to the pen
I can tolerate Joey Ortiz remaining on the major league roster because he adds value defensively & has been getting on base via walks recently. He will make a great late inning defensive replacement at SS, 3B, even 2B.
I love Perkins as a person & he is an excellent CF - but let him work on his hitting in Nashville. We can use Mitchell as the defensive specialist.
Rengifo made sense to begin the year, but it simply hasn’t worked out. He was never good enough defensively to play 3rd, & his offense is worse than last year when he was having an off year. It’s time.
