    Huge upgrade.

    People can cite certain splits of our OF, but they looked putrid against decent MLB pitching.

    Mancini will be surrounded by good players in our lineup and I expect him to hit well.

    Pending prospects.... They could still go get Bell.

    And our offense will be nasty

    Like the fit

    Scared to see the cost

    Hoping it was Chas/Siri plus a lower level guy

    Nice move- the positional versatility is appealing.

    Pros: Very consistent. Great clubhouse guy. Potential for upside due to different park and deeper lineup.

    Cons: Not an elite hitter. Not a great defender in LF.

    TBD: what other moves are in the works and what the cost was.

    Basically an over 800 OPS guy at MMP.

    Puts him as a huge upgrade over current CF core.

    Nice.

    I wanted a guy that could play 1B and LF, and we got him. But boy am I scared to see who we departed with for a non-rental acquisition.

    Mancini should be viewed as a rental.

    Have we traded for a closer and a catcher that can hit yet? :)

    Saying for "multiple pitching prospects".
