Without Werth, we're going to have some serious trouble with lack of Right-handed hitting. I'm still hoping we can re-sign him. If not, I'll give him a round of applause. That guy really stepped up big over the years.
I just can't envision a scenario in which they can keep him. They would need to unload salary, and how would they do that? No one's going to take Ibanez' contract. Blanton is probably also tough to trade, and as a fourth starter he's ideal. Maybe Victorino could be traded, and Werth moved to center. Ugh, it hurts my brain.
Well, the ideal would be to drop Ibanez and we could start Brown in Left Field. But I don't see that happening. As much as I like Werth's power, Shane is the better clutch player. I'd rather keep him.
Ugh, if we were the Yankees, we wouldn't have to think about things like this
