Hes dominating winter ball. I'd gladly take him for CF or RF. Of all the Ray's young OFs hes the most patient.

 

James predicts 351/459

 

PECOTAs 2008 on him was 354/462

 

...and hes stayed out of trouble so far.

None of them, if they had their druthers. They need all the pitching they can get.

DRays should have a much improved 2008 rotation of Kazmir, Shields, Niemann, Sonnanstine, and Jackson. That cuts out 44 starts from guys that had over a 7.50 ERA. That had a HUGE affect on their cumulative starters ERA. They could realistically decrease it by a full run next year and be decently better than league average. Come 2009 when Davis, McGee, and Price could be ready...watch out.

 

They'll need to do something about their pen though.

I wonder if Hendry and co. are considering Marmolade to the rotation if they deal Hill...

Hopefully they are considering him regardless of what they do with Hill.
