A free agent wouldn't sign here, at least one that's better than Cash.

What I was geeting at was that Cash had to have seen the risk in having Posada and Molina and no Plan B, given their increasing fragility. Maybe it didn’t come through clearly enough – sorry.

He's got a .271 career BA, .357 OBP and a career SLG under .400, all amounting to a .333 wOBA. His defense is pretty good but he's still not worth trading for. If they DFA'd him or released him, sure I'd take a shot, but not in a trade. There’s also the fact that he’s just an incredibly average player.

If we acquired him to be our supersub, he’d probably not get a lot of playing time and certainly wouldn’t start… so, I guess I wonder about how well that will work out. Also, I’m not keen on trading inside the division.

Sure, he'd be a decent fourth OF option over Gardner but is that really something worth trading for, especially in division? Meh.
