Okay, so we take a lot of flak on here for not being completely sold on Melky Cabrera. There are a number of attacks on our position:
– He’s only 23
– He’s already an above-average outfielder
– His stats compare well with Bernie’s
– We don’t need a 40-homer hitting center fielder
All of these points are valid, though they each have holes in them. Let’s go point-by-point.
