Play someone at third that can hit decently and play Valbuena at second. Done. And who is that? The 24 year old prospect, with eye problems, who put up a .302 OBP and .671 SLG in AAA last year..... I'm guessing you meant OPS?
But they'll get another year of Tanaka Yeah, I'm sure that's why they can't make a decision. He might get them to the NPB World Series. The NPB doesn't exist for the sole purpose of making MLB teams better. You're acting like they're some Frontier League team. I just don't understand where Tangled Up in Plaid's logic. My point is they don't care at all about having Tanaka on their team. If the posting rules hadn't changed they'd already be 55 million dollars richer and wouldn't have thought twice about posting him.
