Why are we dumb for being more excited about Zimmer, Naquin, Yandy? I even like Almonte more now.
Almonte isn't capable of hitting RHP like Lonnie is proven to.
Zimmer hasn't proven anything at the MLB level, and I will never expect young guys/rookies to come in and blow the doors off stuff, because that's unfair and how you say something dumb like a 22 year old will never provide anything in the MLB.
Naquin doesn't belong in this conversation because he's our starting CF already. And Yandy isn't an OFer.
Seriously...Lonnie and Guyer RF platoon is maybe the best OF platoon in baseball right now...yet we have people who act like Lonnie is easily replaceable or he sucks. He consistently hits RHP well, and that in itself is valuable.
Go find me a sure bet to push a .800 OPS vs RHP, then we'll talk about how it's time for Lonnie to go.
